According
to a survey conducted, over two thirds of the businesses fail to report
cyber-attacks to the police. The survey also questioned whether businesses were
aware of the fraud reporting organisation Action Fraud Aware (AFA).
The
research was conducted by the Institute of Directors as part of their cyber
security. The study found that only 57% of the businesses had a strategy to
combat cyber-attacks and only a fifth had prepared insurance against such
crimes.
Professor
Richard Benham said “Cybercrime is one of the biggest business challenges of
our generation and companies need to get real about the financial and
reputational damage it can inflict. The recent high-profile attacks has spooked
employers of all sizes and it is vital to turn this awareness into action.”
Mintzberg’s
emergent strategic theory suggests to create an avenue for businesses and
individuals responsible for attacks, to work together and provide better
enhanced technologies with both perspectives from the user and the developers.
Rather than causalities, having people together can create innovative
technologies to better the technology used in cyber security and enhance user
experience in a safer friendlier virtual environment.
As the
government opts to put services online for its citizens the mintzberg strategy
can resolve the issue of cybercrime through cyber friendly ways with everyone co-operating.
