BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

FireEye Inc. has said in a report that the United Kingdom and Germany were the most-targeted nations for sophisticated cyber attacks in Europe, the Middle East and Asia in the first half of 2014, reports CNBC.

About 17% of advanced persistent threats were aimed at the United Kingdom and 12% at Germany. These two nations were targeted the most as they have strong economies and are home to many international firms' operations, said an expert. Government services were targeted the most, followed by telecoms and financial services.
