Cyber Security Professionals Worry That Current Computer Misuse Act Insufficient Deterrent

 

London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/04/2021 -- The law is a key tool in dealing with cyber security attacks and acting as a deterrent to those who may be tempted to engage in this kind of crime. However, the current UK legislation - The Computer Misuse Act - has long been criticised by those in cyber security careers UK as very out of date. In fact, one survey of cybersecurity professionals found that 80% were worried that they might actually break the current law in the process of defending against cyber-attacks. Earlier this year, these concerns triggered action with the Home Secretary, who announced a review of The Computer Misuse Act, a step that has been described as "long overdue" by those who are working with the current legislation. The review will involve consultation with a range of different parties, from academics to law enforcement agencies and the cyber security industry. It is designed to establish whether the current provisions are fit for purpose and, if not, to establish a more effective way forward.
