Companies Urged to Focus on Professional Cybercriminals

Many organizations are focused on stopping random hackers and blocking pornography when they should be concerned with bigger threats from professional cybercriminals, according to a new cybersecurity report. In a survey conducted last year of 523 IT and security managers, top-level executives, and law enforcement personnel, hackers were rated the biggest threat, followed by insiders and foreign entities -- probably because hackers are the "noisiest and easiest to detect," the 2010 CyberSecurity Watch Survey concluded.
