E-espionage: What risks does your organisation face from cyber-attacks?

August 2009

This report, written by our UK OneSecurity team, with support from the CPNI (Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure), highlights how a growing number of well-resourced and highly sophisticated cyber-criminals from across the globe are seeking to gain unauthorised access to valuable or sensitive data and information held by companies and governments.

William Beer, author of the report, says, "Traditionally boards have tended to regard the security and integrity of their corporate data as a matter for their IT departments. However the increasing threat and the rising impact of possible breaches mean the prevention and detection of E-espionage should now be on every board's agenda. Those that fail to focus on it are putting the very future of their organisations at risk."
