Abstract
Cybercrime is becoming more and more prevalent in today’s society and attackers are continuously discovering new methods to hack systems. Monitoring and maintaining computer network security is a complex process that presents unique challenges. If security is not constantly strengthened, cyber threats have the potential to affect millions of systems, all of which share similar vulnerabilities.
The issues surrounding cybercrimes are exponentially different than other types of crimes carried out in society. Therefore, federal law enforcement agencies are faced with the difficult task of generating new approaches to combat them. This chapter explores the concepts of cybercrime and cybersecurity, presents the statistical impact it is having on organizations, and demonstrates the importance of an effective cybersecurity policy manual. It also describes the methodology used for this research, analyzes the data provided by expert testimonials, and introduces the development of a new innovative technological method (Blockchain) to minimize the risk of the cyber world. The analyses cover the extent to which ...
