Malicious code affects every aspect of our society, from government to business through to everyday consumers, says UK defence technology firm QinetiQ.
“The money malware generates fuels criminal activity on a phenomenal basis, and we must invest in the future of our cybersecurity industry to make such attacks unprofitable,” said Neil Cassidy, operations director of the security practice at QinetiQ.
Cassidy was commenting on the call by the House of Commons science and technology committee for submissions on the impact of malware and the role of government in fighting it.
The committee is calling for evidence that will help build on its previous inquiry into national security and cyber events that would require a national response.
