Companies must 'take the fight to the criminals' to tackle cybercrime

Cybercrime is becoming big business and tech firms are 'in an arms race' to outdo sophisticated criminal operations, report by BT and KPMG says

British firms must "take the fight to the criminals" to prevent a rising tide of cyber-attacks by sophisticated organised crime gangs, according to a report.

In a joint report, telecoms group BT and consulting firm KPMG called on companies to address the "industrialisation of cybercrime", warning against the danger of overplaying the more high-profile threat of lone hackers.
