About CIBOK Editorial Committee

A steering committee of industry and legal professionals formed in 2016 with the goal of helping to protect ICT (Information and Communication Technology) assets and operations of society from cybercrime. To achieve that goal, the CIBOK 1st Edition was produced with the support of Dr. Shane Shook as executive editor. Dr. Shook coordinated the definition of the CIBOK structure and content with thought leaders and experienced practitioners from around the world. Their individual and collective experiences included traditional criminal investigations, litigation, and prosecution – as well as public and private sector cyber security breach investigations and response.
The guiding principle throughout the development of the CIBOK was to produce a useful “body of knowledge” from contributors’ experience so that professionals in the field - including law enforcement officers, judiciary, and corporate risk management staff – could have a definitive reference for conducting efficient and actionable investigations of cybercrimes. To support this principle, specific examples of knowledge, skills, techniques, and human resources requirements were expanded upon with examples to provide a method of knowledge transfer for organizational training.
The CIBOK Steering Committee will evolve to adapt to global requirements with the participation of industry and law enforcement professionals. Contributions, and participation, are welcomed.
