While such computer crimes such as fraud, industrial espionage, software and data theft and hacking are uncovered 50% of the time by the internal control system or internal audits, frequently they are uncovered only through "whistle blowing," special investigations by management, notification by a customer or by accident. These revelations indicate that the best and perhaps only defense is to establish a sound system of internal control in the first place to remove the opportunity for these types of crimes.
