Book Summary:
The goal of SCENE OF THE CYBERCRIME is to bring the worlds of law enforcement and IT professionals together, to show both how they can and must unite against, detect, and prosecute those who use modern technology to harm individuals, companies, and society. Written by a former police officer and current networking security consultant, the book will help IT pros and law enforcement specialists understand both their own and each other's roles, and why an organized, cooperative effort is necessary to win the fight against this new type of crime.This book is a bridge between two distinct cultures; that of IT professionals responsible for building systems that prevent cybercrime, and law enforcement officials responsible for investigating and prosecuting those crimes. It introduces IT professionals to the highly structured world of law enforcement, where rules of evidence must be followed closely and crime scenes must not be contaminated. It provides law enforcement officers with an understanding of the technical aspects of cybercrime and of how technology can be used to help solve crimes that have been committed. |
