title = "An assessment of U.S. legislation on cybersecurity",
abstract = "Cybercrime continues to be on the rise and cybercriminals are launching increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks aimed at disrupting businesses through denial of service attacks and stealing personal information all with serious economic consequences. Law and policy makers are under increasing pressure to develop timely legislations to address cybercrime issues and provide effective measures to prosecute cybercriminals. We present a comprehensive review of the various laws that are currently available in the Unites States to control cybercrime and support cybersecurity. We also discuss proposed bills in light of how they address cybersecurity challenges in current legislations. Finally, we briefly present recent regulations and proposed bills related to cybersecurity in a few other countries which have set up various government initiatives in this area.",
