Cybercrime is a fear that many people have on the Internet. This is the focus for the third week of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM).
Cybercrime Is a Problem for Many People Online
News source CNBC reports that cybercrime victims lose an average of $358 and spend 21 hours fixing the problem. A new study by Michigan’s Ponemon Institute shows average annual losses to companies worldwide now exceed $7.7 million, with companies in the study losing up to $65 million. Forbes says that cybercrime costs may reach $2 trillion by 2019.
The good news is that unlike crimes that have one government agency (such as the FBI) conducting the investigation, there are multiple federal agencies that conduct investigations in cybercrime cases. Each organization has its own jurisdiction.
So, who are the federal teams fighting cybercrime?

It seems to me that the government is no better at IT Governance than are any of the many businesses at which I consulted in my career culminating as a consulting architect for Internet applications and their supporting systems infrastructure, including security. IT Governance fundamentally concerns itself with decisions regarding IT purchases, installation, management and usage. Who makes the decisions? What decisions are needed? How are they made? In most organizations, governance is fragmented much like having multiple agencies chasing cyber-criminals. Sounds like a formula for disaster to me.
