Description
There was a time when government agencies, militaries, and private enterprises only had to worry about preventing crimes committed by enemies that could be physically identified during the commission of a crime. It is important that security professionals and senior level management in all industries understand that cyber-crimes now supplement traditional crimes. The use of technology now gives criminals consummate opportunities for criminal activity, making these traditional crimes easier to commit. It is becoming increasingly difficult for our law enforcement and military agencies to detect, prevent, and solve these crimes. Protection occurs within 4 domains; land, sea, air, and space. However, a 5th domain, the cyber domain, now exists. The Internet allows criminals to commit just about any crime anywhere in the world. It is crucial that all countries, states, and agencies adapt their domestic and international offline controls to cover crimes carried out in cyberspace.
