"Cybercrime and cyber-terrorism represent a serious challenge to society as
a whole."
- Hans Christian Krüger, Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe

Crime has been with us as long as laws have existed, and modern technology
has given us a new type of criminal activity: cybercrime. Computer and
network related crime is a problem that spans the globe, and unites those in
two disparate fields: law enforcement and information technology.

This book will help both IT pros and law enforcement specialists understand
both their own roles and those of the other, and show why that understanding
and an organized, cooperative effort is necessary to win the fight against this
new type of crime.

62% of US companies reported computer-related security breaches resulting
in damages of $124 million dollars. This data is an indication of the massive
need for Cybercrime training within the IT and law enforcement communities.

The only book that covers Cybercrime from forensic investigation through
prosecution. Cybercrime is one of the battlefields in the war against terror.
