You dont need to be a sophisticated coder to become a hacker. Cyber crime is a business with a proven, cost effective and profitable business model. A global business which has transcended political and social boundaries. Where the investment for the hacker is probably no higher than the cost of a laptop, an internet connection and the purchase of a few off the shelf hacking services. Already packaged with help desk support and FAQs to help the hacker get up and running.

Cyber is an asymmetric risk, where the costs to individuals, companies, government and society at large are huge, running into the $100Bns. The costs of corporate protection are high, including brand and reputational damage, loss of IP, legal costs, regulatory fines, costs of fraud and in extreme cases of ransomware (the current threat of choice) company closure.

It costs the target an order of magnitude more than it will costs the hacker. So plenty of reasons ($) why cyber as a risk is one which should focus the mind and bank balance.
