Abstract
As the threat of cybercrime increases, the forces which seek to combat them also increase. This chapter seeks to examine how an industry has arisen from the cybercrime threat and what forms of specialist areas they cover. In particular, we will look at the broad categories in which these different threats fall into and discuss how an industry has sprung up to capitalise upon it.
