Call for Corporates to go on the Cybercrime Attack

Acting collectively and sharing experiences is the only way for businesses to beat technical and commercial hackers, says Laurent Sarrat, CEO and Co-Founder, Sis ID.

In just a few years, cybercrime, which was once the preserve of amateurs, is now carried out by efficient international networks. Today, regardless of their size and sector of activity, all companies are exposed to it.

And then there are the commercial hackers who play on the psychological manipulation of their potential victims to extract valuable information.
