Fighting Cybercrime

Along with the advent of the virtual organisation has come a new form of crime. Cybercrime is any form of criminal activity that involves use of the internet. Although many organisations have their own ideas on how to control the problem, they appear to be working in different ways instead of pooling their forces. However, it is unclear as to who should be responsible for controlling cybercrime. This paper suggests that the issue should be attacked from the level of each individual company through its management, on the national level, and internationally. In doing so, it offers managers practical advice on how to fight cybercrime and calls for the setting up of a global organisation with the power to crack down on such potentially devastating crime.
