The digital revolution has transformed the way businesses and individuals interact, but it has also brought risks like hacking, identity theft, data breaches, online fraud, and cybercrime. Cyber law provides the legal framework to regulate activities in cyberspace and protect individuals and organizations from digital threats. It also governs e-commerce, data privacy, electronic communication, and IT-related contracts, ensuring secure and lawful transactions. With cyber threats constantly evolving, compliance with cyber law is crucial for individuals, businesses, and government bodies alike. Strong cyber law practices not only protect digital assets but also enhance consumer trust in an organization’s digital operations.
Cyber law obligations are continuous, applying as long as digital operations are conducted. Specific time limits apply for regulatory compliance, contracts, and enforcement actions under the IT Act, 2000.
