Infographic: Combating Cybercrime is a Shared Responsibility

Each year the number and sophistication of cyber attacks worldwide swells. Attacks against businesses large and small, governments, and individuals are now simply par for the course. A recent study conducted by TeleSign reports that a whopping 51% of internet users have gotten hacked in the last 12 months. CNBC can perhaps shed a little light: in 2016 they reported that the average large business saw 3.6 successful cyberattacks. Additionally, 75 percent of legitimate websites have vulnerabilities that potentially expose them — and anyone who visits their sites — to cybercriminals, putting enormous numbers of users and company networks at risk.
