Abstract

Pouzdane procjene ekonomske štete uzrokovane kibernetičkim kriminalom su rijetke. Ovaj rad se bavi problemom izračunavanja ekonomske štete u organizaciji koja je pretrpjela napad, s naglaskom na analizu utjecaja obrambenih strategija na veličinu štete.
Svaka odluka organizacije u provođenju obrane ima značajan utjecaj na ukupnu štetu odnosno financijske izdatke organizacije. U radu se daje pregled svih relevantnih vrsta troškova koji mogu proizaći iz napada što predstavlja koristan temelj za procjene ekonomske štete. Kod izračuna korišten je simulacijski alat Cyber Conflict Simulator koji automatski procjenjuje jednu vrstu troškova, dok se ostali pridodaju kako bi se stvorila cjelovita slika. Rezultati analize ukazuju na to da se šteta odražava u gubitku vremena i novčanih sredstava, a troškovi zaštite prije i nakon napada predstavljaju značajne financijske izdatke. Korišteni pristup omogućuje preciznije razumijevanje financijskih posljedica napada te olakšava organizacijama donošenje informiranih odluka o odabiru i primjeni obrambenih strategija utemeljenih na konkretnim podacima.

Abstract (english)

Reliable estimates of the economic damage caused by cybercrime are rare. This paper addresses the problem of calculating economic damage in an organization that has suffered an attack, with a focus on analyzing the impact of defense strategies on the extent of the damage.
Every decision an organization makes in implementing defense measures significantly affects the overall damage and financial expenditures. The paper provides an overview of all relevant types of costs that may arise from an attack, serving as a valuable foundation for economic damage assessments. The Cyber Conflict Simulator, a simulation tool, was used for calculations, automatically estimating one type of cost, while others were added to create a comprehensive picture. The analysis results indicate that damage is reflected in the loss of time and financial resources, and pre- and post-attack protection costs represent significant financial expenditures. The adopted approach enables a more precise understanding of the financial consequences of attacks, facilitating informed decision-making for organizations regarding the selection and application of defense strategies based on concrete data.
