Regulating cyber for business through law enforcement
The national government of the United States has played a role of regulating cyber for business through law enforcement. This form of law enforcement falls under two general categories, which is taking organization responsible if they are found the victim of data breaches and prosecuting hackers who are exposed to break private networks. The primary statute which is found to play the role of prosecuting hackers in the United States is known as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). This statute prohibits hackers from hacking a private network without authorization. This form of hacking is known to cause loss and damage to the business. The CFAA also prohibit citizen of the country from feeding or transmitting computer virus. The statute of CFAA contains a private authority of action, which permits the owners of the network to sue the hackers and recover the damage that might have caused by hackers. The other statute bodies that restrict and prohibit case of network hacking have enacted anti-spyware laws that prohibit a citizen from loading software onto other people computers. The other kind of statute that play a role of enforcement action against commercial sectors that compromise the law of information security is the Federal Trade Commission. Section of the FTC Act claims that any companies that are found to firm-standard information security safeguard are subjective to government audits and penalties.
Additionally, many states have enacted breach notification law that plays a role of protecting personal information against all form of security theft. Due to security regulation and enforcement on data, the government of United States has implement data security to financial and health sectors. Other states have deployed particular data security regulation that plays a role of delivering prescriptive rule that compliance with FTC sector-neutral and precedent
National governments have also played a significant role in the improvement of cybersecurity, thus regulating cyberspace for business. Although United States approaches have played a role in data protection, the government has also engaged in the act of sharing security information to standard security sectors. This form of information sharing has encouraged private and public companies to follow government standards. For instance, in 2011, Federal agencies, the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) introduce a cloud computing Wiki to unite all the national industries. Additionally, the US national government encourages most of the federal agencies to take a chance in providing of the roadmaps for data security and privacy.
The other way in which national government role regulated cyberspace for business in the country is through promotion and facilitating a public-private dialogue about cybersecurity. Commercial cybersecurity has played a significant role in promoting public-private conversation, thus enabling industry and government to learn from each other. In American, United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) in collaboration with National Security Division which is a member of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have provided public and private sectors with the capability to coordinate and communicate with national government on the issues concerning cybersecurity in the country. Further, US-CERT has responsibilities of delivering response defense and support against all form of cyber attacks. These agencies have roe of collaborating with local and state governments, international partners, and industries through the sharing of information.
