Hackers and Crackers
A hacker is a person who breaks into computers and computer systems, usually by gaining access to administrative controls. The subculture that has evolved around hackers is often referred to as the computer underground. Proponents claim to be motivated by artistic and political ends, and are often unconcerned about the use of illegal means to achieve them.
Other uses of the word hacker exist that are not related to computer security (computer programmer and home computer hobbyists), but these are rarely used by the mainstream media. Some would argue that the people that are now considered hackers are not hackers, as before the media described the person who breaks into computers as a hacker there was a hacker community. This community was a community of people who had a large interest in computer programming, often creating open source software. These people now refer to the cyber-criminal hackers as "crackers".
Forensics Acquisition and Analysis
Analyses are needed to clarify the company's required level of protection as well as to measure the protection mechanisms that have already been implemented. Security Risk Solutions Ltd Forensics Analysis, a service within Analysis & Forensics provides companies with an independent, detailed and compiled overview of events in the event of an incident in order to trace the perpetrator or perpetrator(s) through the IT environment and find the trail they left.
Security Risk Solutions Ltd Forensics analysis provides a map of the incident and shows how the incident has affected the company's IT environment and its systems. Mapping incidents is also necessary to create effective countermeasures and implement them into the company so that similar incidents are not repeated. Security Risk Solutions Ltd Forensic's analysis can provide the basis for future decisions in terms of proceeding with corrective action.

Securing a computer system has traditionally been a battle of wits: the penetrator tries to find the holes, and the designer tries to close them. - |
