Cyber law is also known as the “Law of the internet”. The rules in regards to cyber law is that it applies to all things internet. The concept of cyber law is latest and its addition to the legal system as well. The reason is that the technology is developing at a rapid pace. As such, laws are not able to keep up. Cyber law provides legal protections to people using the internet. It is important that anyone who uses the internet and in today’s day to day life that is everyone – from a year old to 50, it is best that nuances surrounding it also should be learnt about. 

Let us learn more on the topic with the help of this article. “With the right cybersecurity, businesses and people can protect themselves from cybercrime. Cybersecurity looks to address weaknesses in computers and networks. The International Cybersecurity Standard is known as ISO 27001. Cybersecurity policy is focused on providing guidance to anyone that might be vulnerable to cybercrime. This includes businesses, individuals, and even the government. Many countries are looking for ways to promote cybersecurity and prevent cybercrime. For instance, the Indian government passed the Information Technology Act in 2000. The main goal of this law is to improve transmission of data over the internet while keeping it safe.”

Role of Cyber Lawyer: 

As soon as you are done and dusted with your law schools, in addition to the fact if this is your subject of interest. You should know what is the nature of a cyber lawyer and what work they entail. “The major challenges that are tackled by the cyber lawyers to ensure cybersecurity are listed below:

  • Copyright
  • Trade Secrets
  • Patents
  • Contracts
  • Defamation
  • Jurisdiction
  • Privacy
  • Domain Disputes.”

As stated earlier, cyber law is a new emergence. “As much as it is difficult for lawmakers to enact laws and keep up with the trend. Cyber lawyers often work on cases that are extremely important for their clients. Creating privacy and security policies for a major company impacts the entire welfare of a company. One breach can damage a company’s profits and hurt their public image. Domain disputes, employment disagreements and contract disputes are often high stakes. For lawyers who want to work on high-profile cases or cases where there’s a lot of money on the line, cyber law may offer the opportunity. Because cyber law is still developing, there are ongoing debates about what the laws should be and how they should be enforced. Lawyers who want to impact laws and policies may enjoy having their say. The area of law also welcomes both litigators and transactional lawyers with a wide variety of practice strengths and interests.”

Laws:

  1. National Cybersecurity Protection Act, 
  2. Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014, 
  3. Federal Information System Modernization Act of 2014, 
  4. Cyberseeking Workforce Assessment Act, 
  5. Border patrol Agency Pay Reform Act.

Each state has their own version of cyber laws. “These include laws that prohibit: fraud, harassment, stalking and other computer crimes. Furthermore, state common laws provide remedies for breach of contract, employment laws and defamation.”

Conclusion

Hardly any of us go by without using the internet. Businesses, news, communication and even education to many extent cannot function without the help of the internet. As such it is important that youngsters know what they are getting at, the harmful effects of the internet as well as how to take precautions. Businesses can take advantages too & protect themselves from any breach. With that said, there is an increase in usage of the internet as well cyber crimes with it. Protection from this as well as to provide better opportunities in this field, we need cyber lawyers.
