Approaches to Cyber Intrusion Response. A "Legal Foundations" Study. Report 12 of 12

Abstract

The research findings are as follows: many intrusion incidents go undetected; when detected, intrusion incidents are underreported to law enforcement; reasons for failure to report include fear of negative publicity, fear of bestowing undue advantage to competitors, or preference for a civil remedy; of the incidents reported, only a relative few result in fully successful criminal prosecutions; failure of detection and under-reports of intrusion incidents significantly dilutes potential deterrent effects of a criminal enforcement scheme; the limited ability of law enforcement to successfully prosecute all report incidents significantly dilutes potential deterrent effects of a criminal enforcement scheme.
