Regulating Cyber Crimes


March 4th, 2008

The World Wide Web has always thrived on mostly self-regulation rather than institutionalized regulation. This is whether from government or otherwise. The changing times however, may necessitate revolutionalized Internet security under federal governance. This is due to the ongoing concerns regarding security, privacy and corporate accountability. Expected regulations will result to mandated technology improvements that are not expected to be cheap.

An example of this regulation is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or the HIPAA. These are laws that are designed to secure electronic patient information. Another is the Gramm-Leach-Billey Act (GLBA) which forces financial institutions to implement more rigorous security measures to better protect consumer information.

The term surveillance commonly refers to observation from a distance through the use of electronic equipment or other technological means. In French, it literally means “watching over” while the familiar “eye in the sky” remains to be the great icon of surveillance. Notwithstanding its usefulness as a tool for law enforcement and security, there is the growing concern for loss of privacy.

Surveillance may be covert or overt, but almost always involve watching over the activities of persons or groups from a position of higher authority. A whole new field of operation has been introduced through modern electronic and computer technology from the original idea of using a spy.

The benefits of outsourcing system security have begun to be appreciated by companies that rely heavily on electronically stored data. Its benefits however should be tempered by the potential threat of allowing external entities to have access to sensitive information.

The high dependence of organizations on information technology leaves no space for unreliable and unsecured systems. It is not an easy task to monitor, manage and assess security risks and threats thus measures that will gain security assurance that are within a cost-effective budget are highly desired. Security infringements not only result to irritation and aggravation but also to foregone opportunities, diminished competitive advantage and unpleasant company/client relations which will all ultimately result to financial loss.
