The Influence of Cybersecurity on a National Scale
This article looks at how Jordan’s sensitive information is vulnerable to cyberattacks.
The article takes an objective stance on Jordan’s attack and looks at the ways attackers
were able to access and leak their information. The paper is conducting its research by
gathering relevant cyber legislation throughout the world and comparing it to Jordan’s protective
measures against cybercrime, which have fallen short.
Masadeh comparatively looks into U.S. legislation, specifically the Computer Fraud and
Abuse Act and Electronic Communications Privacy Act. This act provides regulation of the sharing
and selling data. Jordan does contain several cybercrime-targeted policies, including the
Electronic Transactions Law of Jordan and Cybercrime Law of Jordan, which are very similar to
the U.S. laws that were discussed. Both acknowledge the misuse of cyberspace and state that
the misuse is a criminal offense (Masadeh, 2024). By looking at the nation’s legal defense, one
can observe the increasing growth of crime in cyberspace. This practice is determinism because
more people are getting away with transferring and collecting information, and more regulations
are coming out to counter it. Despite new laws, they aren’t covering enough guidelines, which
creates great vulnerability to their private information, especially across international levels
(Masadeh, 2024). In order to protect the sensitive information of Jordan, they must implement
more specific guides for prosecution of cybercrimes and increase enforcement by investing in
businesses in order to protect information and prevent leakage.
Conclusion
This study is important for looking at how big cyberspace and cybercrime are. It is
constantly growing, and the country’s laws will continue to grow as they know more about
cybercrime. This article demonstrates that despite the laws put in place, many of them aren’t
specific enough to tackle the wide range of cybercrime, and there is a great delay from
legislation and cyberspace.
