Executive Summary
The study will focus on examining the resilience of Austria to the threat of cyber-attack. The approach will include a qualitative study and a review of government sources and academic literature. The main sections will entail introduction, literature review and methodology, key findings and discussions, conclusion, and recommendation. Under the introduction, the manuscript will provide the background and history of cybercrimes and threats. Moreover, the document will illustrate the statement of the problem alongside the key objectives to evaluate during the study. Furthermore, there will be a comparative study on various countries related to the chosen area of interest.
Under the review of collected works, the substantial concentration will be put on the values of various activities amounting to threats and cybercrime. In addition, the researcher will also explore the trends in the world to help deduce value conclusions and recommendations. Under the findings, the study will provide a clear illustration of what the previous scholars established to ascertain the importance of the topic in modern society. Additionally, there is a need to make comparative reference to government documents to appreciate the role of legislation and governance in technology and development. There are several aspects which may pose a danger to cyber users; hence, the motivation should remain on manifested implication as opposed to opinions and outcries.
Introduction
