Description
This Capstone Research Assessment focuses on analyzing the evolution of crime from physical to technology-based offenses. This project examines how criminal actors exploit organizations’ increasing dependence on technology and digital systems and the inherent vulnerabilities found within economic enterprises. Said research assesses the lagging development of laws and cybersecurity safeguards, the critical issue of human error, and the lowered barrier to entry for cybercriminals. This paper will conclude with recommendations and strategies that may mitigate such vulnerabilities.
