Crime wave' is an understatement when you consider the costs that businesses are suffering as a result of cyber crime.

Extracting value from the computers of unsuspecting companies and government agencies is a big business for criminals, and the scope of the loss to the victim ranges from reputational damage, loss of customer trust, financial penalties, cost of remediation and repair, to greater competition arising from the stolen information

The Components Of Malicious Cyber Activity

 

In determining the components of malicious cyber activity, we start by asking what we should count in estimating losses from cybercrime and cyber espionage. We can break malicious cyber activity into six parts: 

  • the loss of intellectual property and business confidential information 
  • cybercrime, which costs the world hundreds of millions of dollars every year 
  • the loss of sensitive business information 
  • opportunity costs, including service and employment disruptions, and reduced trust for online activities 
  • the additional cost of securing networks, insurance, and recovery from cyber attacks 
  • reputational damage to the hacked company.
