Paper Abstract:
|
Every day the news media give us more and more insight into the effects of digital security on our daily lives. Due to the enormous power of computer & communication technologies (ICTs), any lack of digital security affects privacy and ethics. The commercialisation of the Internet has stimulated considerable competition, both legitimate and illegitimate. The law governing intellectual property is not adequate to control the huge amount of information contained in cyberspace, which is defined as the realm of digital transmission not limited by geography. The change in the legal system is evolutionary, but the technological change is revolutionary. The immediate need for organizations to protect critical information assets continues to increase. It is a difficult task to establish a common international legal framework to maintain security and privacy in cyberspace. The new business environment, due to the explosion of Electronic Commerce (EC), has new security, privacy, legal and ethical problems that business people in the digital economy must be acquainted with, in order to handle them properly, and operate them effectively. The objective of this paper is to provide a global overview of major concerns in cyberspace as stated above. The author also discusses the Australian response to deal with those key concerns in the era of digital economy and globalisation. |
