Crime-as-a-Service Nation: Inside the Cybercrime Franchise Economy

from Bare Metal Cyber · host Dr. Jason Edwards

This narrated edition of “Crime-as-a-Service Nation: Inside the Cybercrime Franchise Economy” takes you inside the modern Cybercrime-as-a-Service (CaaS) landscape and treats it like what it has become: a franchise-style industry with brands, affiliates, and repeatable revenue. Across the episode, we unpack how cybercrime evolved from lone operators and small crews into a structured economy with tool developers, infrastructure providers, initial access brokers, and money-movers all playing defined roles. You’ll hear why understanding those roles, incentives, and dependencies gives security and technology leaders far better levers than simply chasing the latest gang name or malware family.
