Cybercrime in the spotlight

PwC’s Global Economic Crime Survey continues to provide insight into the state of economic crime worldwide.

Our 2011 survey turns a spotlight on the growing threat of cybercrime in a world that relies on the internet and connected technologies. The survey looks at the significance and impact of cybercrime and the ways in which it affects businesses worldwide.

The results of our 2011 survey show that 32 percent of Canadian organizations surveyed (compared to 34 percent globally) reported being victims of economic crime during the previous 12 months. This represents a decrease of 24 percent from our previous survey released in 2009.

This year’s Canadian report is divided into two key sections:

• Cybercrime: awareness of the crime, how it impacts organizations, and what actions are taken to address the risks; and
• Fraud, the fraudster and the defrauded: the types of fraud committed, who is committing them, how they are detected and actions taken by organizations in response.
