Information about common cybercrime threats and challenges usually comes numerous sources, both nationally and internationally. However, without proper analysis and placement in the overall security context, such data has limited use or purpose. Therefore, analysis and sharing of information about threats and challenges of cyberspace between policy makers and professional communities should lead to better coordination and common approaches between all involved partners –both from state and private sectors. Ultimately, this should contribute to what should be the ultimate common goal: ensuring safer cyberspace for all.Cyber threats could be defined as "the possibility of a malicious attempt to damage or disrupt a computer network or system". Analysing threats and challenges can be considered as one of the prerequisites of effective cybersecurity or cybercrime strategy.
