Cybercrime on the rise: survey
“The hackers are winning, according to a survey of 500 executives of U.S. businesses, law enforcement services and government agencies released Wednesday.
The 12th annual survey of cybercrime trends found that online attackers determined to break into computers, steal information and interfere with business are more technologically advanced than those trying to stop them.
The survey was co-sponsored by business consulting firm PwC, the U.S. Secret Service, the CERT Division of Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute and CSO security news magazine.”
I think that this whole problem of cybercrime and cyber security needs to be thought through. We can no longer throw more and more technology at the problem. We need to come up with a holistic solution to the problem of cyber crime.
There are 2 things that everyone who inhabits the digital world have to do. Personally have a mantra “Cyber Security is my Problem” and live by it religiously. At a business level start to implement the SME security Framework. Use the components of technology, management, adaptability and compliance to build stronger defences around the business.
