Valuables
Valuables are assets (goods, information or people) that can represent a (high) value to criminals and can therefore attract crime.
Valuable goods
Valuable goods are personal properties that represent a value to criminals. There are several types of personal property that are particularly relevant to consider as valuable goods:
- Money or any other right on capital, including securities like bonds, stocks, investment funds, etc.
- Objects that can 'easily' (relative to the profit gained) be sold like cars, drugs, bicycles or mobiles
- Objects that are particulaly in demand (particularly rare objects, such as art, specialized machinery or objects with excude a high status)
- Objects wich contain valuable materials that can be recycled (such as copper in wires or bronze in statues)
Valuable information
Valuable information is information that, if information security is breached, can be abused by criminals to gain wealth. This can be achieved by the following mechanisms:
- Extortion (threat of breach of confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity or non-repudiation of the information)
- Sale of the information (breach of confidentiality)
- Theft of financial resources by identity fraud (breach of authenticity)
Valuable persons
Valuable persons are people that, when security is breached, can be used by criminals to extort relations of the victim. This can be achieved by either abduction or hostage taking (for example of an organisation with an employee, or a family with a family member).
