Laws and regulations governing cybersecurity

Much has been published about the relationship between the law and new technologies, especially the Internet, including its changes and transformations. But many key issues remain unresolved, and many other problems are only in the phase of their identification or analysis. Nevertheless, although the search for reasonable solutions is on the right track in the better cases, sometimes there is no solution in sight. The Internet is undoubtedly a sui generis phenomenon. As such, it does not stand alone but is directed mainly through the regulation of the conduct of its users.

The law is one of its possible regulations in the form of imperfect normative constructions, where it applies more so than elsewhere that between conduct in reality, i.e. what is actually carried out in the Internet environment, and normative conduct, i.e. what should be (by the will of the regulator and ours), do not match up. The reality of the Internet and its normative regulations are therefore two relatively separate categories. This assumption will not be challenged in this publication either. On the contrary, it will be one of its mainstays.

Most legal problems related to the Internet must be considered in the overall legal and technological context, not only from the perspective of established formulas or from the perspective of individual legal disciplines per se.[1]
