Cybersecurity Laws: Protecting Digital Assets And Mitigating Risks

Abstract

In the present era, it is widely recognized that a majority of activities are commonly conducted on the internet, ranging from online business transactions to financial exchanges. Today, the entire nation is transitioning to the era of digitization and networking, which undoubtedly brings organized benefits to different industries such as e-commerce, communication, and more. Given the global nature of the internet, individuals have the ability to access online information from any location. A small minority of individuals have been utilizing internet technology for illicit activities such as unlawful intrusion into others' networks and engaging in frauds. In the context of the internet, the term "cybercrime" refers to any illegal behaviors or offenses that are done online. This is the only way to overcome this challenge. In an effort to discourage and punish those who violate computer laws, the phrase "Cyber Law" was coined. When it comes to the legal framework that governs the Internet, cyberspace, and other legal problems, cyber law is the subject of discussion. It covers a wide range of topics, such as the right to free speech, access to and utilization of the internet, personal privacy and security online, and internet access. To provide a more particular definition, it is generally known as the law of the internet.
