Cybercrime/ Cybersecurity
Security is an imoprtant component of the policy framework for the Internet. Developing and transitional countries should examine their laws to ensure that they cover cybercrime and provide law enforcement agencies the investigative tools they need, consistent with privacy protection. But the criminal law is only a small part of the cybersecurity framework. Governments and private sector systems need to cooperate in improving the security of those systems by applying sound security practices, improving sharing of information, and raising awareness.
Several international initiatives on cyber-crime raise concerns for Internet freedom. Most notably, the Council of Europe (COE) fails to specify adequate procedures protecting the privacy of communications. Here is a collection of various materials on cybercrime, focusing on the COE treaty.
