About Hackers and cybercrime prevention
Information technology has created a whole new category of criminality, as cyber crime offers hackers and other tech-savvy miscreants opportunities for online fraud, identity theft and other cyber attacks. Denial of service (DDOS), botnets and malware are just a few of the techniques being used to target critical corporate data and business IT users. We examine the threats, and the policies, products and trends to protect your organisation.
