Firms struggle to keep pace with cyber attacks

Businesses are struggling to combat the rise of cyber criminality which continues to grow increasingly sophisticated, according to a major new report.

A range of constraints including aging infrastructure, poor employee habits and limited resources are hampering firms’ fight back against attackers and leaving them vulnerable to potentially seriously damaging attacks.

According to Cisco’s mid-year cybersecurity report, the struggle to constrain the time and space afforded to cybercriminals is the biggest challenge facing businesses and threatens their ability to fully embrace the digital economy.
