Is enough being done to combat cybercrimes?

Cyberattacks are now one of the biggest concerns for governments and companies across the world.
In the past year alone, there has been an 11 percent increase in security breaches by hackers.

With security experts fighting the hackers, the cybercrime economy is growing so quickly, it is now making profits of $1.5 trillion each year.
