  Cybersecurity Review

  Hi Everyone,
  
  Cybercrime is pervasive, pandemic and increasingly connected with other parts of the criminal ecosystem. It ranges from the theft of an individual’s identity to the complete disruption of a country’s Internet connectivity due to a massive attack against its networking and computing resources.
  
  The target of cybercrime centers on information – the data that is electronically stored for retrieval and subsequent use.
  
  To get an idea of the scale of the threat of cybercrime, let’s take a look at the overall use of the Internet, theft or exposure of personal data through data breaches and the amount of money lost to a cybercrime called “phishing” - one of the most common online attacks where a person is socially engineered to provide personally identifiable information by someone posing to be a trusted source.
