Cybercrime Investigation Model
Andrey Alexeevich Chechulin, Maxim Gorda · 2024
The rise of cybercrime is a daily challenge for individuals, organizations, and governments, especially when resources are scarce and cyberattacks are becoming more complex. These organizations often find it difficult to identify and stop such attacks, but they must investigate them to reduce the damage. This study aims to create a detailed model to help with the investigations of cybercrimes. To build this model, we reviewed existing research on cybercrime and investigative methods, and we used analytical techniques, studies, and logical reasoning. After examining different stages of investigations and the information needed, we created a model and put it to the test by investigating an insider attack. We think that this model could be the foundation for practical guidelines to investigate security breaches in organizations with either limited or ample resources.
