CIBERSEGURANÇA E A IMPORTÂNCIA DO DIREITO DIGITAL

Abstract

The evolution of technology and the advent of the internet have revolutionized society, offering benefits such as easier communication, access to information and business opportunities. However, digital security has become a crucial challenge due to the rise in cyber threats such as malware, phishing and denial of service (DoS) attacks.

Digital law plays an essential role in protecting rights in the virtual environment, covering issues of privacy, freedom of expression and civil liability. Privacy must be preserved, ensuring that personal information is not unduly exploited. Freedom of expression is a fundamental right, as long as it does not violate the rights of third parties. Civil liability ensures that perpetrators of cybercrimes are held accountable for their damages.

Specific cybersecurity laws and regulations aim to establish guidelines to prevent and punish cybercrimes. However, the effectiveness of these laws is a challenge, as the digital environment transcends geographic borders.
