This workshop highlighted that there is a lack of understanding about the cyber-attacks and what mechanisms can be used in improving both detection and prevention.<\/p>\n<p>Providing a secure cyber space is now a key concern for governments and private sector organisations throughout the world, which requires development of critical infrastructure and an organisational and national\/international research agenda supported by multidisciplinary expertise. This presentation provided an overview of cybercrime from a technological and a criminological perspective, and explained how criminological theories can be applied to mitigate cyber-attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of this presentation was also to describe recent trends, such as zero-day exploits, botnet attacks against internet banking applications, the emergence of the darknet, the role of organised crime, cybercrime-as-a-service, ransomware, and spear phishing emails. Dr Alazab also illustrated how new analytics can be used to uncover hidden patterns in cyber-attacks such as malware and spam emails, draw on real world data.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Mamoun Alazab is a Cyber Security researcher and practitioner with industry and academic experience. He holds a PhD in IT Cyber Security in 2012.
