The U.S. Department of Commerce is asking big technology players with significant online presence to develop and adopt a code of conduct to help stop cybercrime.
The Department of Commerce is working in conjunction with companies in the Internet and innovation sector, which includes small and large businesses that have a substantial Internet or technology focus -- from the big software developers and cloud computing firms, to local businesses that operate primarily online.
The government realizes that in addition to hurting the businesses themselves through damaging cyberheists, dissemination of these growing cyberheists works against consumer confidence and can impact e-commerce and technology growth, one of the hottest engines of the economy.

Hopefully the DoC will also realize that although cybercrimes continue to happen in alarming numbers, Internet Security Awareness of the employees in these businesses is not yet increasing proportionately—the lacking ingredient to curtail this growing trend being Internet Security Awareness Training for every employee with access to a company network and the Internet.
