Abstract
Cyberspace is the connected Internet Ecosystem and it refers to the virtual computer world, and more specifically,the notional environment in which communication over computer networks occurs.When this cyberspace is compromised, this leads to cybercrime and even Cyberterror which is intended to undermine the electronic systems to cause panic or fear and even monetary loss. The techniques of protecting computers, networks, programs and data from unauthorized access or attacks that are aimed for exploitation is called cybersecurity.As a body of UN, International Telecommunication Union releases Global Cybersecurity Index (GSI) in which, by assessing certain parameters, it measures the commitment of countries to Cybersecurity at a global level and it has ranked Denmark, Australia, Republic of Korea, in top ten category. India drastically slipped down from 23rd Ranked in 2017 to 47 th rank in the latest GCI ,2018 which is a matter of grave concern and it seeks immediate attention. Cyber law is the part of the overall legal system that deals with the Internet, cyberspace, and their respective legal issues. In most nations globally, there are many legislation governing e-commerce and cyber crimes going into different facets of cyber crimes. In Indian context, the IT Act’ 2000 which was amended in 2008 and is known as Cyber Law. Though we have seen many new laws, initiatives and policies from the government of India, there are grave threats despite progress. Here, we want to give a brief overview of the cyberattacks , cyberspace encroachment and security concerns around the world and India with major thrust to Jharkhand which came into limelight when one of its city, Jamtara, earned the title of Cyber Crime Capital of India. We have tried to explore existing legislative dimensions with regard to its effectiveness in handling Cybercrime and possible future perspective for a more digitised and inclusive social order and economy for global growth.
