✦ Synopsis

What do we mean by the phrase? Cyber is a derivative of the word cybermetrics which in my dictionary is defined as -

The study of systems of control and communications in animals and electrically operated devices such as computers"

After an initial aversion to the title I have decided to stick with it because the definition fills exactly what I am going to cover.

"Threats made by criminals to extract money or advantages from corporate entities by stealing or corrupting data or systems"
