The Impact of the US on the Development of International Cybersecurity Law: Legal Challenges and Emerging Norms

Abstract

The rise in cyber threats and assaults in the current digital era has made cyber security an essential field that poses major risks to individuals, organizations, and nations. Numerous national and international cyber security laws and regulations have been developed in response to these evolving challenges. The efficiency of the country's present cyber security laws and policies is evaluated in this article in light of the growing sophistication and frequency of cyber-attacks. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cyber security Framework and important laws like HIPAA, GLBA, FISMA, CISA, CCPA, and the DOD Cyber security Maturity Model Certification are highlighted in this comprehensive framework that was developed by the US government. The report examines how these restrictions affect various industries and looks at patterns in data on cybercrime from 2000 to 2022. The results emphasize the difficulties, achievements, and necessity of ongoing adaptation in the face of changing cyber threats.
