Due to the increase in cybercrime in today’s world, cybersecurity actually overlaps with the criminal justice as a consequence. For example, if a company has a data breach that results in thousands of individual’s personal data being compromised, then that would involve a criminal justice agency because of the law being broken and thousands of people suffering the consequences, including the company. This example is a direct way cybersecurity has overlapped with the criminal justice system. However, there are other indirect ways as well. For example, digital forensics. If the individual who breached the company in the above example has stored the data on an encrypted drive, it would be digital forensics’ job to recover that data. There are many other instances where these two fields overlap but one of the most common is cyberlaw. Examples of cyberlaw include, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) or CIPA (Children’s Internet Protection Act). HIPAA provides privacy standards to individual’s medical records. Considering health care providers use technology in their institutions to process and store patient data, it’s a good idea to have security standards that follow the CIA triad. A breach to this data would almost definitely result in a lawsuit. With CIPA, imposed by the FCC (Federal Communication Commission), schools and libraries are required to limit the exposure of obscene content to children with filtering, with a few other requirements as well. A violation of this Act would too result in a lawsuit. Therefore, cybercrime and cyberlaw are both subcategories of the criminal justice system. With that being said, these two fields usually work pretty close together. Cybersecurity personnel would do the investigation and after it concluded, they would present the findings to a court. The criminal justice system would determine whether or not a crime has been committed, they determine if the accused party will be convicted, and finally, if convicted, they will determine the sentence.
