Cybersecurity Law: Sector-Risk, Criminal Litigation and Global Dispute Resolution

Cybersecurity law addresses different frames and strata of disputes and provides the means to prosecute cybercrime and resolve cross-border disputes. In this chapter, we addressed the various sector risks that could emerge from cyberattacks, specifically in finance, healthcare, and energy. Equally, we touched on criminal litigation, where we addressed unlawful cyber activities, including hacking, fraud, ransomware, and data breaches, requiring specialized investigative methods, digital forensics, and adapted legal procedures for electronic evidence. It should be noted that because cyber incidents frequently cross national borders, global dispute resolution mechanisms, such as international cooperation agreements, arbitration frameworks, and multilateral treaties, play a crucial role in coordinating investigations and enforcing legal accountability.
