The complexity of modern businesses, their reliance on technology, and the heightened interconnectivity among organisations that is both a result and a driver of e-business - these are rapidly evolving developments that create widespread opportunities for theft, fraud, and other forms of exploitation by offenders both outside and inside an organisation.With the growth of e-business, perpetrators can exploit traditional vulnerabilities in seconds. They can also take advantage of new weaknesses - in the software and hardware architectures that now form the backbone of most organisations. In a networked environment, such crimes can be committed on a global basis from almost any location in the world, and they can significantly affect an organisation’s overall well-being.
