Cyber Crime, Data Security and Data Protection

Abstract

International organisations are no less likely to be the target (and therefore the potential victim) of fraudulent behaviour by members of the public than anyone else. Indeed international organisations are frequently even deliberately targeted specifically because their staff may be known in a wide range of jurisdictions and because of the numerous high-value transactions that are regularly being conducted (in a range of currencies and with a range of potential beneficiaries), hence the possible chance to introduce a false or deceptive claim and gain significant benefits of a fraudulent transaction.
