Cybersecurity is the protection to defend internet-connected devices and services from malicious attacks by hackers, spammers, and cybercriminals.
The practice is used by companies to protect against phishing schemes, ransomware attacks, identity theft, data breaches, and financial losses..
Of course, cybercrime — by definition — violates criminal law, and those who commit it are (theoretically) subject to those consequences.
Solving the cybercrime problem requires improved enforcement through effective investigation and prosecution (" Solving the Cybercrime Problem ," Reuters Legal News, March 21, 2023).
Hence, it should be the persistent efforts of rulers and law makers to ensure that governing laws of technology contain every aspect and issues of cyber crime and further grow in continuous and healthy manner to keep constant vigil and check over the related crimes.
Throughout this paper, any criminal behaviour utilising the Internet will be termed ‘cybercrime’ unless referring to specific research using other terminology.
Whilst recognising that cybercrime is a global issue, this paper will focus primarily on policing cybercrime in England and Wales.
A strong cybersecurity posture and legal foundation keeps your business protected and prosperous.
