The Corporate IT Forum - Information Security Service

David Davis has launched a report that looks at the threats posed by cybercrime and proposes measures to tackle this growing problem. Speaking at the 2008 e-crime Congress, David described cybercrime as a "serious threat to individuals, business and government" and accused Labour of having ignored the issue.

The report outlines a number of proposals to tackle cybercrime, including:

• Creating a new Police National Cybercrime Unit
• Establishing a cybercrime team within the Crow Prosecution Service
• Appointing a single minister responsible for cybercrime

David Davis, The Shadow Home Secretary, promised a Conservative Government would take the necessary action to protect "the future security, economic and personal interests of this country".
And he stressed, "The time to act is now."
