Ein Großteil der Unternehmen in Europa sind schon einmal Opfer von IT-Kriminalität geworden, wie eine Studie zeigt. Die EU-Kommission startet jetzt eine neue Initative, um die Sicherheit im Netz zu erhöhen. Bis 2020 erhofft sie sich aus Öffentlicher-privater Hand Investitionen von rund 1,8 Milliarden Euro. IW Köln-Digitalexpertin Barbara Engels erklärt, warum Unternehmen IT-Kriminalität noch immer unterschätzen.
