International Scope of Cybercrime Top 10
Perpetrators)
Top Ten Countries (Cyber Crime Perpetrators)
 1. United States 66.1%
 2. United Kingdom 10.5%
 3. Nigeria 7.5%
 4. Canada 3.1%
 5. China 1.6%

 7. Ghana 0.6%
 8. Spain 0.6%
 9. Italy 0.5%

Why Should we Care?
 Cybercrime has international scope
 Cyber security has an economic impact
 Credit vs debit cards
 Carrier payment constraints
 National reputation
 Our solutions are not working
 Constraints in Africa are similar to those in small
town America and Europe
Potential for Technology Leapfrogging
 Cyber security solutions combine
 Process
 People
 Technology
 Cloud computing
 Centralized
vs Distributed
 Efficient use of skilled manpower
 Policy Implementation
 Cloud security??
