The Business of Hacking

Attackers are sophisticated. They are organized. We hear these statements a lot but what do they mean to us? What does it mean to our businesses? When we dig deeper into the “business of hacking,” we see that the attackers have become almost corporate in their behavior. Their business looks a lot like ours. Cyber criminals look to maximize their profits and minimize risk. They have to compete on quality, customer service, price, reputation, and innovation. The suppliers specialize in their market offerings. They have software development lifecycles and are rapidly moving to Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings. Our businesses overlap in so many ways that we should start to look at these attackers as competitors.
