Cyberspace is a domain that uses the electronic and electromagnetic spectrum to store, modify, and exchange data through network and system-related physical infrastructures. Cyberspace is an endless space known as the Internet. Computer transactions, especially transactions between different computers, can be viewed as a space. Images and text on the Internet exist in cyberspace. The term is used in conjunction with virtual reality, giving the name of the imaginary place where a virtual object exists. If a computer creates a picture of a building that allows the architect to "walk in" and see what the nature of a design is, the building is said to be in cyberspace.Cybercrime is a series of organized criminal attack cyberspace and cyber security. Cybercrime such as Hacking into computer,this can be through a network system and clicking on unfamiliar links connecting to unrecognized Wi-Fi, downloading software and files to unsafe sites, consuming energy, electromagnetic radiation waves, and more. Cyber security is a serious problem and must be taken seriously as it has become a national concern. Currently, most electronic devices such as computers, laptops and cell phones come with built-in firewall security software, but even so, computers are not 100 percent accurate and reliable in protecting our data.

Cybersecurity is the practice of making the networks that constitute cyber space secure against intrusions. The aim is to maintain the confidentiality, the availability and integrity of information, by detecting interferences. Traditionally, cybersecurity has focused on preventing intrusions and monitoring ports. The evolving threat landscape, however, calls for a more dynamic approach. It is increasingly clear that total cybersecurity is impossible, unless government develops a cyber-security strategy. The aim of this chapter is to discuss government's dynamic approach to addressing challenges of cybersecurity. The chapter looks at the co-ordination of cyber-security activities so as to have a coordinated approach to cyber-crime. This chapter also highlights the idea of protecting sensitive data for the public good. It is generally accepted that technology has become indispensable in modern society. Government's cybersecurity presents a unique challenge simply because of the volume of threats that agencies working for government face on a daily basis.

This paper discourses several issues stemming from whistleblowing. These include, but are not limited to, imposition of liability for inaction in the face of wrongdoing, to scrutinising the available legislative protections for whistleblowers. This paper will also discuss whistleblowing in relation to cyber whistleblowing, which essentially means making disclosures on any misconduct that occurs on the internet. Cyber whistleblowing can provide the basic framework for combating misdeeds online, as it forms a central part of cyber security. Whistleblowing has its roots in less than desirable circumstances, often offering little to no benefit to whistleblowers involved. The act of blowing the whistle, all share common traits, to call attention too, and to punish any and all wrongdoings. Legitimising whistleblowing would enormously help to remove the stigma that is often tied to whistleblowers. This would also give rise to more voluntary whistleblowing in relation to cyber security.

Abstract The new realities brought on us by the growing usage of IoT devices should be paralleled by new sets of paradigms and regulations, in order to not only accomplish the raise in the living standards of people but also to increase their level of human security. The IoT devices, as well as, in whole, the virtually completely internet connected society we live in today, need strong and clear rules and regulations, need laws that can help maintain and improve the cyber-security level. While being able to electronically track one’s children, by a multitude of IoT and other electronic devices, it is a great and useful feature we have to take into account that the same information, now shared over the internet, might also get into the wrong hands and lead to unpleasant or even dangerous situations.

Cyber Crimes

Cyber law is law of the Internet; hence, any crime on the Internet is basically cyber crime. It is committed on cyber space, but all the pre mediation is an act of individual/s, who are the perpetrators of crime with malicious intentions and commission of these acts. Cyber crimes were initially perceived as a subset of Information Technology (IT) laws, which governed the digital dissemination of both digitalized information and software. Digital information includes information security and electronic commerce. However, as the world became subservient to digitalization, cyber/Internet laws became more pronounced in their origin and are now a special branch of Internet laws. These laws include study of Internet access and usage, privacy rights, freedom of expression, and extra territorial jurisdiction issues. This chapter analyzes the cyber laws in India and raises the issues of criticality of provisions relating to dispute resolution in India.

The advancement of information communication technology has triggered a revolution in using the Internet for legitimate educational purposes on university campuses. Therefore, the Internet has changed the way of human communication and contributed to the development of mankind. On the other hand it is regrettable that its revolution has helped malicious users to exploit it for the malign purpose to commit a cyberspace crime that has in turn negatively affected fellow users who were preyed on by cyber predators. This work aimed to examine the awareness of cybersecurity, the measures taken to protect against cyberattacks and the state of victimization among professors at Ambo University. Thus, the present study comes up with the following findings. First, the result shows that the respondents’ cybersecurity awareness was significantly influenced by cyber-crime victimization, fields of study, and protection measures. Second, the current study also depicts that the respondents’ protection measures were connected to and influenced by cyber-crime victimization, education level, and cyber-security awareness. Finally, the study’s findings show that being a cyber-crime victim has been linked to predictors’ variables: protection measures and the level of cybersecurity awareness.
