SINGAPORE (May 6): Despite improvements to combating cybercrime and threats, IT security professionals are still struggling to fully protect their organisation against breaches with 61% claiming to have experienced a data breach at their current workplace.

This is part of the findings from McAfee’s latest report titled Grand Theft Data II – The Drivers and Shifting State of Data Breaches.
