	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/11/2014 answer text <p>The Government makes no specific assessment of business awareness of Cyber Crime. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills conducts an annual Information Security Breaches Survey which gathers a range of data from businesses. In the 2014 survey 79% of respondents said that company management placed a high or very high priority on security. 68% of large organisations and 54% of small businesses provide ongoing security awareness training to their staff. <br><br>Estimating the costs of cyber crime is challenging. The UK cyber security strategy noted &quot;a truly robust estimate will probably never be established, but it is clear the costs are high and rising&quot;. Research used in the strategy suggested that costs to UK could be in the order of £27 billion per year. The Home Office has been focussing on improving and expanding the data on the prevalence of different types of cyber crime in order to develop more informed estimates of cost of cyber crime. The Home Office has set up a new external working group to improve those estimates.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 11/11/2014 15:57:13 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

As a direct result of the NCA’s coordinated international day of action, involving law enforcement and industry partners, the infrastructure for the Shylock malware variant has been almost totally dismantled. The theft of online banking credentials as a result of Shylock has significantly reduced.
