What is cyber crime?
The term ‘cyber crime’ refers to criminal activity that involves ICT (information and communications technology).
Internet crimes range from automated cyber attacks carried out by unskilled opportunists to cyber warfare campaigns directed by state-sponsored APT (advanced persistent threat) groups.
Public awareness of cyber crime is increasing, but many organisations remain unsure about:
- The nature and volume of the cyber threats they face;
- How to protect themselves from those threats; and
- The financial and reputational damage a successful attack could cause.
On this page, we examine the current state of cyber crime, and explain why your organisation is at risk and what criminals hope to gain by attacking it.
