That was the most convoluted plot synopsis involving tech-lingo I ever read! Bob says he anticipates this new series, I think only to use as joke fodder, because I could taste the hatred dripping off the screen. If that's what we can look forward to with CSI:Cyber (dear God, please come up with a better title), then I will not watch. Sober, anyways. Shows what I know about what's new in the CSI-verse nowadays; I did not know until today that Miami and NY ended their runs, and the only new CSI spin-off I've seen ads for is the one set in New Orleans, starring Scott "Jonathan Archer" Bakula. One episode I really liked is the one with the not-Star Trek convention, and they had to solve the murder of the creator of a Battlestar Galactica-esque dark-n-gritty remake, whose body was found on the set.
I think Bob found the subject for a future episode of The Big Picture: what popular entertainment gets wrong about hacking. If you want how it really works, read this article from Cracked:

Oh dear god, this is going to end stupidly
The issue with any police procedural is that the procedure eventually gets boring and repetitive; there is only so many times we can "enhance images", "analyze fibers" or anything else so they focus on extreme and absurd crimes. That can eventually get to the point of complete stupid and we lose all tension or suspension of disbelief.
This occurred with a show I actually liked, Criminal Minds. Before the concept was exploring crimes stemming from psychological pathologies but the last time I left, the crimes are getting more insane, the "conditions" of each of the killers more outrageous and generally all fear and tension is gone because what i'm seeing is not an actual man with severe mental issues but a parody of those type of people.
Edit: I think I know what my response to show will be
Criminal Minds is especially warped. My parents are big fans (for some reason, same with the various CSI's and NCIS's) and I asked them if they did an episode with an "unsub" who, in comic-book hero terms, started like Batman but wound up more like The Punisher.
