The frequency and sophistication of cyber attacks has increased dramatically over the past 20 years and is only expected to grow. The threat has reached the point that, with enough motivation and funding, a determined hacker will likely be able to penetrate any system that is directly accessible from the internet. The book details the investigative work used to battle cybercrime. Students will learn about the specialists in this field and the techniques they employ to gather evidence and make cases. The tiniest bit of evidence can unravel the most puzzling of crimes. Includes sidebars containing first-person accounts and historical crime-solving breakthroughs. An annotated bibliography is included.
