“The loss of industrial information and intellectual property through cyber espionage constitutes the “greatest transfer of wealth in history,” according to former NSA & US Cybercom top executive Keith Alexander. “60% of cyber attacks in 2015 are due to company insiders,” quotes Crain’s Cleveland Business in their May 16-22, 2016 issue.
How protected is your company data? If you think you have nothing to steal; think again. According to Mr. Dean Weber, “One in four people will be victims of Identity theft this year.”
