'Complexity’ of cyber-attacks increasing worldwide

Verizon Business Regional Vice President Rob Le Busque discusses rising cyber security issues. A report released today by Verizon reveals that 25 per cent of attacks in the Asia-Pacific region were motivated by espionage. “They are on the rise, both in terms of the overall number as well as the complexity and type of attacks we are experiencing here in Australia and around the world.” Mr Le Busque told Sky News Australia. “What we’ve said for many years effective protection for Australia for our economy is a partnership between enterprise government and service providers working together.” “Financially motivated organised crime groups are the vast preponderance, more than two-thirds of all cases”.
