carefully prepared and conducted cyber operations could cause some kind of drama and trauma in the
business arena. Even the most experienced IT security professionals are not fully immune to these
scenarios as they need the huge concentration to take control over their irrational drives and let their
rational thoughts get their place in their awareness. So, the question is what the chances of the common
employee to handle all those are. Practically, any competitive employer would try to offer the suitable
working conditions to all its staffs, but the bad guys simply must keep us in fear – so, if anyone wants to
use anyone in the business sense, he should provide some kind of support to all about all unwanted and
unpredictable situations and events coming on.
Assumption #5. The traumatic syndrome is a manifestation of the negative emotions about some
event, person or relation from the survived experiences.
Explanation #5. Dealing with the crime scene could be the quite unpleasant experience. Even the law
enforcement professionals tackling some crime in the physical environment could not be fully resilient to
those insights. Apparently, they need to get developed the stress management skills at some level, but
sometimes it’s so hard to cope with all the challenges of such a career. The cyberspace itself could also
get correlated with the crime scene and indeed, so many high tech offenses have been committed there.
The cyber defense specialists who would assure the digital devices being in the network would cope with
some amount of the stress management capacities, but the common employees not being that familiar
with the IT world would easily become the victims of the cybercrime and hacker’s attacks, so they could
develop the quite inconvenient condition, so far. The traumatic syndromes are frequently linked with the
victims of the crime and those persons could struggle about some survived experiences from their past
getting correlated with the persons, events or relations on. The masterminds of the cybercrime and high
tech terrorism are so dangerous guys providing so harmful strategies and tactics in order to make the
psychological impact on their victims. In addition, these malicious actors would see the ordinary people
as their targets and especially in the sense of the terrorism – there would be a lot of offenses that should
push the victims into the crisis. The cybercrime groups would commonly work for the profit, but as the
armed robbery could be the nightmare to anyone being present on the crime scene – the similar case is
with the cybercrime victims. They could stay deeply frustrated about what happened in their virtual
environment. On the other hand, the cyber terrorists are far more frightening for a reason they would try
to conduct the cyber operation in order to shake someone’s confidence or leave so deep impact on his
mental health condition. In other words, it’s not only about who would annoy whom – in the case of the
terrorism, the bad guys would go far more beyond the typical bullying and they would literally attempt to
intimidate their victims, so far. In such a case, the fear could go deeply into your bones and if you choose
to attend your doctor, he could diagnose you with some traumatic syndrome. These sorts of attacks are
happening every single day at so many places and it’s important to build on the adequate response
techniques and methodologies to these kinds of crimes. The cyberspace is never safe enough and does
not matter how hard the IT security professionals would work to assure all of us – the bad guys would
always find the holes in the system to approach us. So, if we talk about the traumatic experiences, we
could mention so obvious case of losing data and passing through so requiring procedure in order to
prove that you have done something that day, but you remained without such an effort due to the hacker’s
operations. In the business sector, we all would cope with some rules and follow the strict behavioral
codex that would not let us getting so personal with our co-workers, so sometimes it’s so complicated
explaining your boss that you have worked so hard to produce something and all of it just vanished in the
sub-second period of time. The cybercrime investigation would probably find the clues for your story, but
