Criminal data breaches will cost businesses a total of $8 trillion over the next five years, according to a global report from U.K-based market intelligence firm Juniper Research.The report predicts that more than 2.8 billion personal data records will be stolen by hackers in 2017, and five billion by 2020.Small and medium-sized enterprises are most likely to be affected by cybercrime, since they typically spend less than $4,000 per year on cybersecurity protection. Smaller businesses are also more likely to use outdated software, which makes their networks easier to exploit.Last year, 34 percent of US-based companies admitted to experiencing some type of security breach, but the percentage may be higher - some businesses aren't willing to acknowledge network vulnerabilities that compromise the safety of consumer data.Two-thirds of companies surveyed by Bitdefender in October said they would pay an average of $124,000 to keep the hack private, leaving unsuspecting customers in the dark.Ransomware on the riseRansomware that hijacks devices and networks is growing in popularity, as it can be more profitable than stealing financial data. Last month, "WannaCry" crippled hundreds of thousands of computers and disrupted businesses, schools and medical facilities.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The attacks on hospital infrastructure show that inadequate cybersecurity can now cost lives as well as money,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Juniper research author James Moar. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Businesses of all sizes need to find the time and budget to upgrade and secure their systems, or lose the ability to perform their jobs safely, or at all.바카라 게임 웹사이트�There aren't enough cybersecurity professionalsCybercrime is a growing phenomenon - in 2015, research revealed that more than $315 billion had been lost by businesses around the world during the past 12 months, highlighting a greater need for digital security professionals.But the supply has yet to meet the demand - there simply aren't enough people choosing careers in cybersecurity. In 2014, nearly 50,000 open positions in the U.S. required CISSP (certified information systems security professional) certification. At the time, there were only 65,362 CISSP-certified people in the U.S., and many of them were already employed.
