The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) hosted a discussion on the impact of cybercrime on the economy. The event coincided with the release of a new report authored by CSIS and McAfee, a security software company. The study found that the estimated cost of cybercrime on the world's economy is almost $600 billion. In addition, the report revealed that ransomware is the fastest growing cybercrime with Russia and North Korea being the world leaders in malicious cyber activity. Speakers included officials from the Homeland Security Department, the FBI and McAfee.
