Australians pirating software less but users more aware of malware risk than CIOs

Business Software Alliance (BSA) raises the spectre of malware-laden pirated software to push levels of unlicensed software use down further. 39 percent of installed software not properly licensed in Australia in 2015 a decline from 43 percent in the previous year. 1 in 4 organisations in governance-sensitive industries were using unlicensed commercial software. CIOs were less aware of the threats posed by unlicensed Commercial software than end-users and consumers, according to the BSA. The figures suggest CIO’s are underestimating the amount of unknown software users were installing on company computers.”]
