Time: A new report finds that American businesses and institutions are failing to meet the cybersecurity threat posed by hackers at home and abroad. “One thing is very clear: The cybersecurity programs of U.S. organizations do not rival the persistence, tactical skills, and technological prowess of their potential cyber adversaries,” finds the 2014 U.S. State of Cybercrime Survey.
“Today, common criminals, organized crime rings, and nation-states leverage sophisticated techniques to launch attacks that are highly targeted and very difficult to detect.” Syria, Iran and Russia are cited as a “a particularly pernicious threat.”
