Cyber Security
· Thesis Statement
It is virtually impossible to eliminate the threat of cyber-attacks because of globalization and digitization effects on the world.
· Background Information
Cyber security is a broad concept discussing efforts toward protecting programs, data, networks and information systems from cyber-related threats. Cybersecurity is a global issue affecting all sectors of the society, because these sectors are now connected to the internet. For instance, the banking sector has e-commerce.
· Reason topic sentences
· Legislations are often put to an end by privacy advocates with a healthy skepticism toward government ulterior motives(Clemmitt, 2012).
· Hackers are well versed in the art of masking their identity and location, which makes the process of identifying and prosecuting exceedingly difficult (Flamini, 2013).
· The nature of cyber-attacks is often transnational (Marshall, 2010).
Relation to law, society and justice
The topic chosen has a direct correlation to the issues of law and society. The internet has brought about profound changes across the globe, but it has a dark criminal side that threatens to undermine the achievements of the digital age and the potential yet to be actualized (Flamini). There is therefore, a dire need for new criminal justice interventions to address this new threat to public safety.
