The vast number of users, the varying levels of knowledge regarding asset protection, modern technologies, and the distinctly international nature of cybercrime make state intervention&amp;mdash;through a strategic approach&amp;mdash;inevitable. However, what challenges arise in formulating a sufficiently effective strategy to counter cybercrime? The aim of the study presented here is not to draft a strategic document, but rather to discuss and outline the key characteristics of a cybercrime counter-strategy. The authors draw upon a combination of theoretical knowledge, best practices, and their own insights in an effort to address these challenges.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
