The Internet is ubiquitous in our lives today. The majority of people carry a smartphone, own a tablet or use a laptop. There have been developments in terms of our working environments with Bring-Your-Own-Devices (BYOD) and WIFI access, and we are hearing more and more about the Internet of Things (IoT).

In recent times, we have witnessed an increase in the instance and in the news reporting of cyber attacks. Cyber attacks can hit almost all spectrums of society. We have seen cyber attacks infiltrating the financial industry, which can lead to not only chaos but uncertainty, worry and inconvenience for all involved. We have seen high profile data breaches in the entertainment industry (Sony) which even affected a major motion picture release.
