In a little over a decade, from 2000 to 2012, the number of Internet users around the world increased 566.4 percent, growing from 360 million to over 2.4 billion. This growth resulted in societies that are significantly more reliant on technology and more connected than ever before.¹ This connectivity has facilitated the automation and storage of vast amounts of raw data and the use of increasingly complex analytic tools and technologies, has provided critical resources to improve operations and achieve greater efficiencies, and has dramatically increased information sharing capabilities. For all of the advantages associated with increased automation and greater connectivity, it has also rendered individuals, businesses, and law enforcement agencies much more vulnerable to cyber attacks, intrusions, and cybercrimes.
