Should governments provide support to businesses to prevent cyber espionage? If yes, how? If not, why not?

Solution

Information is very valuable in these times. Nowadays the relationship between the private and the public sector has blurred quite a bit.

Steal of important information can lead to deterioration of the economy of the public and the private sectors.

Sophisticated large scale cyber espionage is hard to defend against by most businesses. Even though the IT security industry has an important role in defending against these, it can’t completely succeed on its own. It needs help from the government to protect the businesses. Government needs to put up proper resources and legislation to deal with cyber espionage.
