My colleagues Michael Barrett, Andy Steingruebl, and Bill Smith recently authored a whitepaper..

Combating Cybercrime: Principles, Policies, and Programs

..and Michael blogged an executive summary here.

The executive executive summary is:

Technical measures alone cannot significantly address the cybercrime trends, we believe action is needed, and are proposing a multi-faceted regulatory approach. We’re occasionally asked to “list the three things you want us to do.” And while we’re hesitant to say any of these initiatives is more important than any other, in general, we list:

• Increase investment in cybercrime law enforcement.
• Start the Internet’s version of the National Transportation Safety Board.
• Fix the Cybercrime Convention to include both extradition and trying cases in the country in which alleged criminals reside.

Also, Dave Piscitello, ‘The Security Skeptic’, reviewed the whitepaper here.
