Additionally, the DHS is working closely with DOD and DOJ to ensure that the military and judiciary become part of the collective process to mitigate cyber-security crime. The collaboration is based on incident response management, the collective creation of CSIRTs, law enforcement personnel, jurists empowered to ensure that computer forensic, case handling, and laws are done collectively (Broucek, & Turner 2013, pp
For this reason, it has become necessary to establish training and education highlighting the importance of cyberspace security. The training on strategic cyber security management emphasizes on the greater awareness and participation of all stakeholders in establishing a proper cyber security for future applications (Farsole, Kashikar, & Zunzunwala, 2010)
CFAA seems responsive to common cybercrimes. However, the law looks at apprehending criminals and not necessary the act of preventing crime (Goldman, 2012, pp
As part of the collaboration, it is notable that the word bank is providing policy funding and policy towards the combating of cyber threats. In the future, it will be necessary for countries and organizations to establish a consistent global / legal policy framework for addressing cyber security (Lehto, 2013)
Similarly, governments are also investing quite heavily in the IT sector in order to ensure that information regarding state secrets is safe from national as well as international threats. The main objective of investing in developing and maintaining computer solutions is attaining protection against such threats (Cole, 2012)
Establishment of a separate IT department has become so significant that even small firms are striving to create and retain dedicated personnel in order to keep their cyber security up-to-date. This argument has also been supported by Symantec, who have stated that unpatched operating systems have holes in their security protocols (Lin, 2006)
In essence, weak coding would enable hackers to access company information from the server without the knowledge of the owner. This can lead to the stealing of funds, selling of information to third party and access of secret information by a rival (Swan, 2013)
Older chipsets, which are near the end of their cycle, are exposed to security breach from the external environment. Organizations can overcome this problem through hiring a dedicated IT staff, which would overlook the transition from older hardware to current or next generation hardware (Villasenor, 2011)
Hackers have abandoned traditional ways of carrying out their attacks and developed new means through personal devices. For instance, cyber criminals have dumped the traditional scareware methods like Fake AV scams (Ayrapetov, 2013)
However, the increased use of the devices is also accompanied by significant cyber security threats because of the type of information stored on and accessed from the devices. Generally, the increased use of mobile devices in the future will be accompanied by an increase in the volume of attacks that are targeted to the devices (Smith, 2012)
Data can then be restored using other methods. Governmental Legislations to avert ransomware The government should come up with Protective Security Policy Framework having some risk management model on how various government agencies should protect the citizenry, information and assets (Attorney General's Department, Australian Government, 2013)
In fact, these vendors acknowledge the fact that their systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from disasters such as earthquake, terrorist, computer viruses and even fires. The legal concern is whether or insurance company would be willing to indemnify the company in case such risks occur (Baase, 2008)
In addition, they asked the users to click on a link that automatically infected their personal computers with the malicious software. After the information was stolen, the hackers re-emailed the victims claiming that they are going to delete their files unless the victims met some payment requirements as demanded by them (Brenner, 2009)
In case of a dispute, the vendor would prefer settling the issue in an American court whiles the customer in a Chinese court. This presents a concern over the jurisdiction of the courts (Quigley, 2008)
In addition, the Ukraine courts may fail to consider the breach as a criminal offense. Provide at least three legal and at least three ethical recommendations which can be used to prevent similar circumstances from happening in the future The clients should be advised to desist from using default passwords Same password and username should not be re-used again and again User accounts should be disable when an employee leaves the company Run security scans: for instance, there are softwares that detect malicious sites and warn the user not to accept the link if elements of suspicion are detected (Lewis, 2003; Spinello, 2011)
This could act as a guide on the vendor's ability to serve the interest of the client professionally. As regards to security of personal information, the customer should regularly change their passwords to reduce the risk of unauthorized persons hacking into the system (Molen, 2010)
Another ethical concern revolves on the security of the data, which include hackers, and loss of password. Employing the services of cloud computing vendor is tantamount to exposing the confidential information of the company to hackers or in danger of losing the password to my account (Shoemaker et al
The owner of the data may not even be aware of the exact location of the data Centre. Consequently, the geographical location raises the concern on the authority that would have legal governance over the data (Winkler, 2011)
For instance, when it comes to International Diplomacy and Cyber Security Threats a tame problem can be described and it is clear when the problem solving procedure is done. Lately, wicked problems in either international diplomacy or cyber security have not been following such a clear pattern (Chen)
International Diplomacy and Rise of Cyber Security Threats Cyber security is considered to be an ongoing issue for governments, the private sector and individuals all over the world. It is now unusual for more than a month to pass without news of a large and often significant cyber-attack (Kanuck)
