Abstract:

There is growing debate over threats to the security of the Internet, including competing views of their source and severity. But how significant and extensive are the actual threats? Are anarchic spammers the prime suspects? To what extent are organized criminal syndicates and terrorists using and abusing the Internet? And how can police and security forces use the Internet to counteract Cyberland risks? DK Matai discusses the myths and realities of security threats from his perspective as chairman of one of the leading authorities on electronic security for major financial institutions, government agencies and multi nationals in Europe, America and Asia.
