2008 Pacific Islands computer crime & security survey (pdf 2mb)

This survey provides the opportunity to discover the trends and issues of IT security and cyber crime within the Pacific Islands and seeks to examine the nature and scope of electronic crime and information security.

It assists in gaining a better understanding of the extent, nature and impact of computer crime in the Pacific Islands; identifying the most common computer network threats; assessing how well organisations are protecting themselves from computer network attack; and raising awareness of the challenges associated with computer security.

All responses were anonymous with representation from across all Islands and industry sectors. Since no other information has been gathered on this crime type previously with the Pacific Islands, the results from this survey will serve to direct the thinking of personal computer users; organizations of all types and sizes; and governments with regard to information security and operating within the online environment.
