Winter Haven, FL (PRWEB) August 02, 2013 -- Cyber attacks may drain as much as $140 billion and half a million jobs from the U.S. economy each year, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies. In recent months, cyber criminals around the world have attacked a variety of companies, targeting sensitive customer information as well as intellectual capital stored on company computers. This type of crime often goes unnoticed, putting businesses and customers at risk.
