The New Face Of Cybercrime

From the October 13, 2008 issue of CRN
For decades,
cybercrime has been the stuff of Hollywood thrillers and pulp
fiction novels. But the days when cybercrime was tantamount to a
gaggle of teen-age hackers creating viruses in their parents'
basements have long since died. Now, the FBI reports that, for
the first time ever, revenues from cybercrime have exceeded drug
trafficking as the most lucrative illegal global business,
estimated at reaping in more than $1 trillion annually in
illegal profits.
Individuals or
groups of hackers loosely tied together with common goals have
coalesced into organized criminal hierarchies, and like
multiheaded cyber Corleone families, they come complete with
defined roles and systems of rewards. They're well-funded,
well-managed businesses, and they are growing at breakneck
speed, continuing to evolve by means of complex ecosystems and
technologies that have become increasingly sophisticated and
efficient. And like any growing enterprise, they're expanding
their reach to smaller and more vulnerable targets, to the
multitude of underequipped and cash-strapped SMBs and small
midtier companies.

Securing
Your Smartphone or PDA
Don't overlook the security needs of these small devices. Here are
some key security measures to take to protect your smartphone or
PDA.
 Smartphones and
personal digital assistants (PDAs) have become important business
tools in recent years, and that trend appears to be continuing.
According to Gartner Inc, worldwide PDA shipments in the first
quarter of 2006 increased 6.6 percent compared to the first quarter
of 2005. While use of these handheld devices is becoming more
widespread, prices have remained steady, with the average price per
device dropping 2.7 percent compared to the same time last year.

 Prepare for the Unexpected
Having an incident response plan can mean the
difference between recovering quickly and losing your business
entirely. Learn about some key areas to focus on when developing
your incident response plan.
Your business most
likely relies on IT for a variety of tasks, including the storage of
business documents, customer information, financial records, and
accounting information. In addition, you probably rely on computers
to conduct many daily business operations. Though no one wants to
deal with the possibility of something unfortunate happening to
their business, planning for the unexpected today could save your
business tomorrow. Here are some key areas to focus on when
developing your incident response plan.
