Cyber Law
Cyber laws govern the systematic use of e-resources, such as e-commerce, and serve as a deterrent to criminal
cybercrime. Various cyber laws have also been enacted in order to combat cybercrime and prosecute those who
commit it.
These laws specify the actions that will be taken against those who break the law. An amendment to the Information
Technology Act of 2000, dubbed the Information Technology Amendment Act of 2008, was also submitted to address
cyber security. The statute also establishes cyber-crime offences and sanctions. According to the IT Act, cyber police
are in charge of discovering such offences and taking appropriate action.
