Cybercrime continues to skyrocket
but we are not combatting it effectively yet. We need more cybercrime
investigators from all backgrounds and working in every sector to
conduct effective investigations. This book is a comprehensive resource
for everyone who encounters and investigates cybercrime, no matter their
title, including those working on behalf of law enforcement, private
organizations, regulatory agencies, or individual victims. It provides
helpful background material about cybercrime's technological and legal
underpinnings, plus in-depth detail about the legal and practical
aspects of conducting cybercrime investigations.
Key features of this book include:
- Understanding cybercrime, computers, forensics, and cybersecurity
- Law
for the cybercrime investigator, including cybercrime offenses; cyber
evidence-gathering; criminal, private and regulatory law, and
nation-state implications
- Cybercrime investigation from three key perspectives: law enforcement, private sector, and regulatory
- Financial investigation
- Identification (attribution) of cyber-conduct
- Apprehension
- Litigation in the criminal and civil arenas.
This
far-reaching book is an essential reference for prosecutors and law
enforcement officers, agents and analysts; as well as for private sector
lawyers, consultants, information security professionals, digital
forensic examiners, and more. It also functions as an excellent course
book for educators and trainers. We need more investigators who know how
to fight cybercrime, and this book was written to achieve that goal.
Authored
by two former cybercrime prosecutors with a diverse array of expertise
in criminal justice and the private sector, this book is informative,
practical, and readable, with innovative methods and fascinating
anecdotes throughout.
