Cybercrime continues to rapidly evolve, with law enforcement and cybersecurity experts racing to stay one step ahead of the latest emerging threats. Business owners and municipality managers often find themselves vulnerable to cyber attacks and are unsure of how best to protect their organizations. Oftentimes, budget constraints, lack of knowledge and training, and staffing limitations mean that cybercrime prevention rank low on the priority level for organizational leadership. None of them want to be victims of a cyber attack, but running an organization takes a lot of time and effort, leaving little time to think of these potential risks. Dr. Tom Hyslip is former law enforcement and an Assistant Professor at the University of South Florida. In this episode, Dr. Hyslip discusses how he got involved in cybercrime prevention and how he now uses his experience in law enforcement to teach students, organizational leaders, and the community on how to protect themselves from becoming the next victim of a cyber attack. ----Interested in learning more about the MSU Center for Cybercrime Investigation & Training?
