Cybercrime threat confirmed as a major business risk 
 
Finjan Inc., a leading provider of secure web gateway solutions for the enterprise market, today announced the findings of its Web security survey of 1387 IT/Security professionals conducted during July 2008. The results reveal that an overwhelming number of respondents perceive cybercrime as a major business risk, specifically the possibility of their sensitive information such as customer, patient, and employee data being stolen by crimeware.

Following its Q2 Trend Report findings about today’s cybercrime economy and its modus operandi, Finjan conducted an online survey to determine the current perception of Cybercrime and Web 2.0 risks to organizations. Respondents were asked about business risks resulting from crimeware attacks, the potential damage that successful attacks might inflict, their knowledge of being breached, their main concern with respect to data theft and loss of productivity, and about security solutions and Web 2.0 policies.
 
”As the Web has become the major malware infection channel, crimeware-filtering capability has become a critical component in organizations’ Web security strategy,” said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, Chief Technology Officer at Finjan. “Today, more and more corporate data is at risk of being stolen by cybercriminals. Our Web security survey report provides an important insight on how organizations perceive cybercrime today and their preferred solution to prevent it.”
