1Global Fraud and Cyber-Security Incidents on the Rise, Kroll Finds
Risk solution provider Kroll released the 10th annual edition of its Global Fraud and Risk Report on Jan. 22, revealing insights into the current state of cyber-security and fraud risks. The 47-page report is based on responses from 540 senior executives who work in different industries around the world. Among the high-level findings in the report is that incidents of fraud were up in 2017. Eighty-four percent of respondents said their organizations were victims of fraud last year, up from 82 percent in the 2016 report. And for the first time in the 10-year history of the report, information theft was identified as the top fraud attack.
