Cybercrime threat

Technology’s answer to e-crime

Cyber crime, aka e-Crime, presents a highly complex and sophisticated threat that has been evolving rapidly recently. The unfolding legitimate cyber world makes for a hunting ground for unlawful commerce in contraband software and services. The black cyber market has made criminal devices so accessible and low cost, the result has been their exponential rise in both sheer activity and expertise.

One security department seems to be dedicated to addressing this development. Employees at RSA, a division within EMC, recently told i-HLS that effective cyber security entails protecting all sectors, meaning safeguarding institutions, commercial enterprises and private users.
