Towards the development of a research agenda for cybercrime and cyberterrorism – Identifying the technical challenges and missing solutions

Abstract

Cybercrime and cyberterrorism research faces a number of challenges, such as the rate of change in technology, field complexity and interdisciplinarity. This chapter aims at identifying the major technical challenges that require solutions to be developed for the successful prevention and fight against such contemporary problems. The following solutions have been elicited as a leading contribution towards the design of a cybersecurity research agenda. The identified and selected solutions include technologies and techniques for computer fraud prevention, investigation and detection methods and tools, and crime prevention methods that address human elements.
