Presentation
The rise of the Internet has undoubtedly accelerated and facilitated access and exchange of information. This meteoric success in communication has encouraged the emergence of new criminal threats. These threats pose considerable risks to businesses, public administrations and individuals. The fight against cybercrime has become a major global challenge because of the international dimension of this new and often organised crime.
Cybercrime is evolving every day, bringing out new forms of risk and techniques for circumventing the law, which the law must take into account and adapt to.
