How UK cops are becoming ethical hackers
This article talks about the following: Cyber Crime is a growing threat and its knowledge in the security forces is limited because of lack of training systems. Because of this, the police officers in UK are getting trained on cybercrime. 80% of the police in UK is being trained on hacking, cybersecurity training, penetration testing, etc. This will enable the police officers to nab the accused at the right time
It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the future. This is an interesting move by the police departments and should be implemented by all police forces. However, will the cybersecurity systems be regularly maintained and upgraded for new threats? Will the training imparted be effective to new AI threats? This is a question that needs answers, especially in government forces
interesting. I think they have training because nowadays, crime is more cyber I guess.
Interesting article. I have not read anything related to this before. The UK took an interesting approach to tackle the increase in cyber security for the country. It is definitely known that everywhere is short when it comes to cyber security professionals. It is a profession in high-demand. After taking the Forensics class in ITACS, this could help. There are laws/rules when it comes to collecting electronic evidence at a crime scene and when assessing the evidence. Cyber skills can easily help the police force when it comes to assessing this type of evidence and are not in a waiting stage while the investigation is waiting on the forensic investigator to assess the device and provide meaningful information to them. Additionally, the police force will have the ability to access data quickly. They will be able to image the devices to create identical bit-by-bit copies. I am really interested in the statistics after this and to see if this has had a positive impact for the UK. Maybe other countries can apply it as well.
Donald,
Very interesting article, I do believe so many government departments will do the something. We will see more government employees having training sessions in Cyber Security.
