DRUG ENFORCEMENT, VICE CONTROL, AND ORGANIZED CRIME

What are best approaches in combating the risk and threats posed by cyber
criminals?

The world today is more connected than ever. However, improved

communication increases the risk of theft, fraud and misuse. As people increasingly
rely on modern technology, they are vulnerable to cyberattacks, including corporate
security breaches, spear phishing, and social media fraud. Additional cybersecurity
and law enforcement capabilities are essential to secure and defend cyberspace.
Law enforcement plays an important role in achieving cybersecurity goals by
investigating a range of cybercrime, from theft and fraud to child exploitation, and by
arresting and prosecuting perpetrators. Criminal investigators and network security
professionals with a deep understanding of the techniques used by attackers and
the specific vulnerabilities they target can effectively respond to and investigate
cyber incidents.
Dealing with cybercrime is even more difficult as the economy favors
criminals. With a laptop alone, one person can cause havoc to individuals and
organizations with minimal cost and minimal risk of getting caught in an unbalanced
arena. In the meantime, it is imperative that all digital users practice basic
cybersecurity hygiene to enhance their protection and improve overall cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity is a common responsibility and requires the attention of a wide
range of stakeholders. Effective public-private partnerships involving businesses and
institutions of all sizes, countries, states, provinces, tribes, and local authorities to
successfully identify and address cyberspace threats, vulnerabilities, and global
risks. Is required. Individual consumers also play a role, and adding cybersecurity to
the K12 and university curriculum can raise awareness for all users. Teaching users
how to better protect themselves is a necessary part of any strategy.
A comprehensive and sustainable national cybersecurity awareness
campaign is a public awareness of the risks and implications of cyber activities and
the need for basic safeguards for desktops, laptops, tablets, phones and other
mobile devices. Is essential to enhance. From smart refrigerators, lighting systems,
heating and cooling, security services to self-driving cars, the explosive growth of
connected devices admires the importance of cyber protection for individual users
and organizations of development at all sizes and levels. It is a sign.
Cybersecurity training should cover the basics: Use strong passwords; Apply
system updates in a timely and efficient manner. It enables firewalls to protect your
device and provide a solution to combat viruses, malware and spyware; and Learn
not to click email links or attachments unless the sender is known and trusted.
Nevertheless, phishing emails can forge the sender's ID in order to trick users into
clicking on links and attachments.
