This book comprises an authoritative and accessible edited collection of
chapters of substantial practical and operational value. For the very
first time, it provides security practitioners with a trusted reference
and resource designed to guide them through the complexities and
operational challenges associated with the management of contemporary
and emerging cybercrime and cyberterrorism (CC/CT) issues.
Benefiting from the input of three major European Commission funded
projects the book's content is enriched with case studies, explanations
of strategic responses and contextual information providing the
theoretical underpinning required for the clear interpretation and
application of cyber law, policy and practice, this unique volume helps
to consolidate the increasing role and responsibility of society as a
whole, including law enforcement agencies (LEAs), the private sector and
academia, to tackle CC/CT.
This new contribution to CC/CT knowledge follows a multi-disciplinary
philosophy supported by leading experts across academia, private
industry and government agencies. This volume goes well beyond the
guidance of LEAs, academia and private sector policy documents and
doctrine manuals by considering CC/CT challenges in a wider practical
and operational context. It juxtaposes practical experience and, where
appropriate, policy guidance, with academic commentaries to reflect upon
and illustrate the complexity of cyber ecosystem ensuring that all
security practitioners are better informed and prepared to carry out
their CC/CT responsibilities to protect the citizens they serve.
