ABSTRACT
The rapid advancement of digital technologies has led to an increase in cyber-related threats, necessitating the evolution of cyber law to address emerging legal, ethical, and regulatory concerns. This research paper explores the legal frameworks governing cybersecurity, data protection, digital transactions, and cybercrimes, analyzing their effectiveness in mitigating risks posed by cyber threats. The study delves into the challenges posed by cybercrimes such as hacking, identity theft, financial fraud, and data breaches, while evaluating global regulatory frameworks like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), and the Information Technology Act (ITA), 2000 in India.
Additionally, the paper highlights the conflict between privacy rights and national security, the growing need for international cooperation in cybersecurity enforcement, and the legal complexities surrounding artificial intelligence (AI), digital evidence, and blockchain-based transactions. A comparative analysis of cyber laws across different jurisdictions is conducted to identify best practices and loopholes in existing legal mechanisms. The research also examines the role of corporate compliance, ethical hacking, and cyber forensics in strengthening cybersecurity governance.
The findings suggest that current cyber laws must evolve to address emerging threats, ensure cross-border enforcement, and strike a balance between technological innovation and legal compliance. The paper concludes with recommendations for strengthening legal frameworks, fostering global cooperation, and enhancing cybersecurity awareness to create a resilient digital ecosystem.
