ABSTRACT

As we have seen, cybercrime is the natural extension of ordinary criminal activity. Today, criminal acts are committed across cyberspace, separately from or alongside crimes.

Because of the networking of resources and individuals, cybercrime is highly effective. Not only companies, but also their information technologies and assets, can become attractive targets for criminal organizations in search of profit. This is a strategic threat to businesses, considering the fact that a business’s assets can take the form of information rather then merely being physical items to be secured.
