There's a difference between cyber attacks and cyber espionage. The purpose of cyber crimes, designed to obtain credit card, bank data or intellectual property, is financial gain. Cyber espionage, meanwhile, is performed for political purposes and is calculated to disable critical infrastructure.

While security appliances and services are available to thwart intrusions, there remains the human element, a disgruntled insider hurt by the financial downturn, tempted by easy gain to transfer enterprise data to gray market operators who could be anywhere in the world. It's all about managing risk, experts say, and a layered approach to security - one that includes both perimeter and internal defenses - is necessary, whether for a company or a country.
