What choices should we make in order to adapt to the environment of cybercrime ? Dr Asier Moneva shares with us his experiences applying environmental criminology to the research of crime online. We talk about work on website defacements and DDoS attacks, progressing research to overcome limitations, finding research questions and adopting new forms of data and methods to advance our understanding of crime in the virtual world and provide value in the prevention of crime. Dominic Vogel from cyber.sc joins us to help with a silly question. He lets us know the difference between cybersecurity and information technology skill sets and talks about balancing profit and community values as a small business.
