A Tern TV Production for The Open University & BBC World News
No longer is hacking the preserve of teenage miscreants causing mischief in their parents’ basement – cyber crime has evolved into a highly organised and complex commercial enterprise involving leaders, planners, engineers, infantry and hired money mules. Yet with all the hype around evolving threats, little attention is being paid to the changing IT environment itself. Many new technologies – from cloud computing and social media to mobile device management – are transforming the face of global information security. It goes without saying that cybercrime gets more sophisticated every year and Ben Hammersley is anxious that we catch up… and fast. This is THE major threat to our digital age, our era of unparalleled change; and in his cybercrime guide he will present a definitive look at the threats, tactics, enemies and guardian angels of the online world.
