Legislative Evolution Of Cyber Security In Jordanian Law

Abstract

In this study, we aim to study the development of cyber security legislation in Jordan and find out how effective these laws are in reducing this type of crime and the efforts made by the Jordanian government to raise awareness and development in cyber security via known challenges facing the government during the development of this legislation and contributions, the analytical approach was used in this study, by presenting the cyber security laws and legislations in Jordan and comparing them with the number of cybercrimes and cyber-attacks that occurred in recent years.

We conclude from this study that  we see that there are still areas in which the legal framework for cybersecurity in Jordan can be improved and that in some cases the government was unable to identify the perpetrator of the attack, so it is good to develop the techniques used to detect the perpetrators of the hack to enable the application of the penalties provided for in the law.
