Is it too late to turn back the rising tide of cyber crime?

With newly published research suggesting that 75 per cent of those enterprises within the TMT sector have reported a security breach so far this year - an increase of 13 per cent on the previous year - there's a real danger that data security will implode if nothing is done to stop the rising threat tide. Especially when you look closer at that research from Deloitte and discover that IT security budgets have largely, erm, gone precisely nowhere in response to the threats and stayed totally static.
