Download or read book Policing Cybercrime and Cyberterror written by Thomas J. Holt and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of Policing Cybercrime and Cyberterror is to provide an in-depth discussion of the perceptions and responses of U.S. law enforcement agencies at all levels in dealing with cybercrime and cyberterror. The themes for this book include the challenges that cybercrime and digital evidence handling pose for local and state agencies, the jurisdictional and investigative hurdles that hinder the response capabilities of police agencies, and the complexities of the actual investigation of these offenses and their impact on officers. This text analyzes data collected from local law enforcement agencies in the U.S., in order to understand officer perceptions of and responses to cybercrime and cyberterrorism, along with samples from digital forensic examiners, to understand their stress, satisfaction, secondary trauma, and coping mechanisms in response to work experiences. The findings demonstrate the realities of policing cybercrimes and those involving digital evidence processing relative to traditional offenses. Policing Cybercrime and Cyberterror addresses a gap in the policing literature by examining the various technological and policy changes needed to increase the investigative response of police agencies, along with various internal policies to improve support for forensic investigators. PowerPoint slides are available upon adoption. Sample slides from the full 53-slide presentation are available to view here. Email [email protected] for more information.

Download or read book Responses to Cyber Terrorism written by . Centre of Excellence - Defence Against Terrorism, Ankara, Turkey and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The one issue touched on repeatedly by the contributors of this publication is the difficulty of arriving at a definition of cyber terrorism. A NATO Office of Security document cautiously defines it as “a cyber attack using or exploiting computer or communication networks to cause sufficient destruction or disruption to generate fear or to intimidate a society into an ideological goal.” But the cyber world is surely remote from what is recognized as terrorism: the bloody attacks and ethnic conflicts, or, more precisely, the politically-motivated “intention to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or non-combatants with the purpose of intimidating a population or compelling a government ...” (UN report, Freedom from Fear, 2005). It is hard to think of an instance when computer code has physically harmed anyone. Yet a number of contributors show that exactly such events, potentially on a huge scale, can be expected. For example attacks on critical infrastructure, in particular on SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems which control physical processes in places like chemical factories, dams and power stations. A part of the publication examines cyber terrorism in the proper sense of the term and how to respond in terms of technology, awareness, and legal/political measures. However, there is also the related question of responding to the terrorist presence on the Internet (so-called ‘terrorist contents’). Here the Internet is not a weapon, but an important tool for terrorists’ communications (coordination, training, recruiting), and information gathering on the targets of planned attacks.

Download or read book Cybercrime written by Susan W. Brenner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-02-26 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating and timely book traces the emergence and evolution of cybercrime as an increasingly intransigent threat to society. Cybercrime: Criminal Threats from Cyberspace is intended to explain two things: what cybercrime is and why the average citizen should care about it. To accomplish that task, the book offers an overview of cybercrime and an in-depth discussion of the legal and policy issues surrounding it. Enhancing her narrative with real-life stories, author Susan W. Brenner traces the rise of cybercrime from mainframe computer hacking in the 1950s to the organized, professional, and often transnational cybercrime that has become the norm in the 21st century. She explains the many different types of computer-facilitated crime, including identity theft, stalking, extortion, and the use of viruses and worms to damage computers, and outlines and analyzes the challenges cybercrime poses for law enforcement officers at the national and international levels. Finally, she considers the inherent tension between improving law enforcement's ability to pursue cybercriminals and protecting the privacy of U.S. citizens.

This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 1999, more than forty members of government, industry, and academia assembled at the Hoover Institution to discuss this problem and explore possible countermeasures. The Transnational Dimension of Cyber Crime and Terrorism summarizes the conference papers and exchanges, addressing pertinent issues in chapters that include a review of the legal initiatives undertaken around the world to combat cyber crime, an exploration of the threat to civil aviation, analysis of the constitutional, legal, economic, and ethical constraints on use of technology to control cyber crime, a discussion of the ways we can achieve security objectives through international cooperation, and more. Much has been said about the threat posed by worldwide cyber crime, but little has been done to protect against it. A transnational response sufficient to meet this challenge is an immediate and compelling necessity—and this book is a critical first step in that direction.

Download or read book Anarchy of Cyberterrorism written by Dr Tunde Alaofin and published by . This book was released on 2022-03-04 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporations, governments, private people, healthcare, and educational institutions are all vulnerable to cyberattacks. Hacking may compromise networks and computer systems, resulting in reputational harm and service outages. The situation is much worse for health-care institutions, since such assaults have the potential to disrupt service delivery, making it harder to write medical prescriptions and begin treatment. These interruptions are harmful to patients' health and well-being, and they may result in death or worse of their diseases. The health of a patient might be jeopardized if information is leaked, particularly if the patient has a prominent position in society. As a consequence of the COVID-19 epidemic, there has been an increase in cyberattacks. These assaults are linked to people's limited time, causing them to spend more time online. Disruption in educational programs has resulted in a dramatic adoption of remote learning without proper precautions to protect against hackers, as is typical. Malware, phishing, and ransomware are examples of typical cyberattacks. Theft of personal information might drive people and businesses to pay a ransom to prevent information being disclosed to the internet. Injection of malware into the system might lead to data theft and compromised information. Network users opening attachments and links without verifying their origins might be the cause of phishing attempts. During phishing operations, cybercriminals often exploit emails from reputable companies. Because of the lack of security mechanisms, the majority of cyberattacks are elegant. Companies continue to use out-of-date software and have no network security safeguards in place. Employees and network users lack internet and network user skills and competences, resulting in the compromise of personal information and financial losses. Critical infrastructure systems, such as power grids and water systems, are vulnerable to cyberattacks. The creation of a cybersecurity framework, as well as cybersecurity awareness training and education, should be among the preventive measures. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are two cybersecurity technologies that might help prevent assaults on computer systems and networks. Financial losses, service disruptions, reputational harm, and damaged key infrastructures might all be reduced as a result of cyberattacks if the strategy is implemented.
