PwC and CSO magazine released the 2013 State of Cybercrime Survey, which reveals that while cybercrime threats are on the rise, current attempts to counter them remain largely unsuccessful. According to the report, organizations have made little progress in developing ways to defend themselves against both internal and external cyber opponents.
|Over 500 U.S. executives, security experts, and others from the private and public sectors were surveyed on their views on the state of cybercrime.
|"The facts are clear: today's organizations are not taking the necessary steps to mitigate the risk of cybercrime, even in the face of increasingly serious and frequent threats," says David Burg, PwC principal in the firm's U.S. Advisory practice focused on cybersecurity. "PwC believes the time is now for organizations to take action. The threat to U.S. business and our nation's infrastructure is very real."
