Cybercrime and Information Technology：Theory and Practice: The Computer Network Infostructure and Computer Security, Cybersecurity Laws, Internet of Things (IoT), and Mobile Devices

Cybercrime and Internet Technology: Theory and Practice - The Computer Network Infostructure and Computer Security, Cybersecurity Laws, Internet of Things (IoT), and Mobile Devices is an introductory text, outlining the fundamentals of computing devices and network functions, core security concepts, and how devices can be used to both perpetrate and facilitate crimes. Digital evidence recovery and forensic investigation are addressed in the context of the legal statutes and implications of the perpetration of crimes and digital crimes in particular. Many books on the market cover investigations, or forensic recovery and presentation of evidence.

Others seek to explain computer and network security. This book discusses the whole of the problem after focusing on the core, essential principles governing computers, wireless devices, network and cloud systems, as well as developing an understanding of their vulnerabilities. Only in this way can the security challenges and opportunity for crime be properly uncovered, investigated, and adjudicated.

The legal portion of the book examines current legislation, statues, and both domestic and international law. This includes various cases that are currently in-process that would set legal precedents going forward. Case law and standards are addressed relative to the present status as well as where they are headed.

It is often the case that new technologies require new statues and regulations-sometimes the laws are often slow to move on given the current speed in which technology advances. Key Features:Provides a strong foundation of cybercrime knowledge along with the core concepts of networking, computer security, Internet of Things (IoTs), and mobile devicesAddresses legal statutes and precedents fundamental to understanding investigative and forensic issues relative to evidence collection and preservation Identifies the new security challenges relative to emerging technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing, Xaas, VMware, and the Internet of Things Strengthens student understanding of the fundamentals of computer and network security, concepts that are often glossed over in many textbooks, and includes the study of cybercrime and cybersecurity challenges Cybercrime and Internet Technology is a welcome addition to the literature, particularly for those professors seeking a more hands-on, forward-looking approach to technology and trends. The book would be useful to all forensic science courses in computer science and forensic programs, particularly those housed in criminal justice departments emphasizing digital evidence and investigation processes.

An Instructor's Manual with a Test Bank and PowerPoint slides is available to qualified adopting professors for use in classroom instruction.
