A Few New Data Points on Today's Cybersecurity Threat

Those of us who have worked with cybersecurity companies in recent years, have referenced all sorts of data points, but a presentation Friday shed new light on the subject for me. Lynn Dugle, who heads up Raytheon's Intelligence and Information Services unit (a  team of 17,000!), reminded the audieince at a Asssociated Industries of Massachusetts Executive Forum of the security challenges we're facing with points like these:
- the Department of Defense has added the "cyberdomain" to their land, sea and air focus
- the biggest transfer of wealth today is by cybercriminals
- $100 billion a year is stolen from biotech industry alone each year
