Changes in laws will make you safe. The legal system doesn't make people safe, if only because it depends on people who don't understand the detailed issues make all the decisions. New laws criminalize all sorts of things, and they will no doubt end up in putting plenty of people in jail, but this does little to help most victims, and evil less to mitigate criminal activity. The law enforecement agencies around the world are seriously behind the times in terms of cyber security issues. For the most part, if you get stabbed or shot or held up at gunpoint, the police have a chance at helping you and catching the bad guy - but if your computer is attacked and you lose a fortune, the odds of the police helping you out are very nearly zero, and it is likely that the cost of calling them will far exceed any benefit you gain from the exercise.
Most consultants are out for one thing - personal income.
Most consultants in computer security know little or nothing about the subject. Their job is to get you to give them money in exchange for convincing you that whatever solution they have provided will help keep you safe. You may feel safe, but you are not safe. There are many exceptionally knowledgeable and honest consultants in this field, but for the most part, they are not differentiable by most customers from the multitudes of rip off artists.
