The Role of Cybersecurity in Combating Digital Crime – A Technical Perspective

Abstract

Cybercrime refers to the crime perpetrated on digital platforms, and it has emerged as a growing phenomenon in the contemporary world, affecting everyone, including individuals, business entities, and governments. This further means that as the scale and complexity of these threats rise, the need for effective cybersecurity mechanisms also rises. As pointed out in this paper, the technical aspect of cyber security deals with identifying, avoiding, and fighting against cybercrime. Covering tactical areas, including AI-based threat identification, big data analysis, infrastructure protection, cyber forensics, and legal regulation, this paper investigates how new technologies and approaches are used to counter cyber threats. Thus, based on the latest theoretical findings and practical advancements, the study will highlight the importance of cybersecurity for protecting the digital environment.
