NCA (The UK National Crime Agency) has called for businesses and law enforcement agencies to adopt a partnership approach to beat cyber-crime. The agency suggests cutting off groups of international cyber criminals at the roots to combat the threat. However, others believe money is better spent strengthening systems rather than tracking culprits as cyber-crime has no borders and often no consequence for offenders. Under-reporting of attacks by businesses for fear of losing clients and the misconception that complying with standard requirements could protect a business against more capable threat actors were among the problems highlighted in the The UK National Crime Agency’s report.
