Cybercrime has been in the news lately, with major publicized attacks on numerous social and retail giants, the Federal Reserve Bank, Adobe ebay and dozens of other high-profile organizations. Many of these attacks have taken advantage of basic, often unnoticed security vulnerabilities, such as poor patch management procedures, weak passwords, Web-based personal email services, and the lack of end-user education and sound security policies.

According to the 2014 Data Breach Investigations Report by Verizon, cyber-espionage has risen up to three folds just in the last year, with the United States being the largest victim by far. This is no longer a problem of the defense industry; hackers are going after intellectual property (IP) across the board in the private sector as well.
