    According to an FBI study, 90% of US


    companies suffered a security incident in
    2005
    3

    The FBI also estimates that cyber crime


    cost US companies an average of $24,000
    last year, down from $56,000 in 2004
    4

    But, they estimate that the total cost of


    cyber crime to the US was over $400
    billion in 2005 alone

    The Internet (ARPANET), was started in 1960s,


    established its first connection in 1969, was spread
    across the US by 1971, and reached Europe by 1973
    7

    ARPANET’s Legacy
    • It all starts with a handshake
    – Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
    & Internet Protocol (IP)

    • Well designed with many different


    paths to a destination, where
    routers constantly monitor the
    integrity and select the best path,
    making it robust in the face of
    severe physical damage
    8

    Despite its apparent good design, the Internet


    was not originally conceived with internal
    security in mind, making it vulnerable to attacks
    Cyber crime
    10

    “Criminal acts using computers and networks as tools or


    targets”

    “Traditional crimes conducted through the use of computers”


    11

    Modern Computer Crimes


    • Can be based on malicious code such as a
    virus, email virus, worm or Trojan horse.
    – a.k.a. Passive Attacks
    • Or actively perpetrated by
    knowledgeable individuals,
    who attempt to exploit network,
    computer, and software flaws
    – a.k.a. Active Attacks
    Cyber criminals
    13

    Cyber criminals come in


    many forms. The most
    harmful can be malicious
    insiders, and discontented
    employees
    14

    The Internet also has its share of


    professional criminals like
    hackers, organized crime, who
    make a living off of their well
    sharp skills and criminal
    attempts.
    15

    Finally, competing business,


    governments and terrorists
    will also use the internet to
    improve their position or
    further their cause
