Cloud cyber security

 Cloud cyber security

Cyber security is the practice of defending computers, services, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. The malicious attacks can be of various types like hacking, child pornography, stalking, etc. 

In these times, when technology is increasing this field is blooming. Cyber security is also one of the significant challenges in the contemporary world, due to its complexity, both in terms of political usage and technology .it's primary goal is to ensure the system's dependability, integrity, and data privacy. 

There are 5 types of cyber security, such as critical infrastructure cyber security, network security, cloud security, loT security, and application security. 

The clarifying lawful overseas use of data act or Cloud act is a United States federal law enacted in 2018 bypassing the consolidating appropriation act,2018. This act was passed by the U.S government to reduce cybercrime. 

In the famous case known as Microsoft Corp v. the United States, in this case, the FBI contended that Microsoft had full control of data and should be compelled to turn it over in response to the warrant, but Microsoft argued that the SCA did not cover data stored outside the United States. The challenge recognized that while the FBI could request a mutual legal assistance treaty to aid in data discovery during cross-border law enforcement, the process to acquire a new malt, if one is not in place, or process a request through an existing MLAT can be slow and impede law enforcement efforts. 

Orrin Hatch had once attempted to create legislation before the cloud act to amend the SCA concerning Microsoft. The law access to the stored abroad act in 2015 and the international communications privacy act in 2017 were both previous bills intended to amend the SCA but which failed to gain passage. 

 Various security laws are implemented to secure data in the cloud, as the cloud is internet-based security laws, and it is used for protecting data in the cloud.  There are many issues associated with data storage and therefore people have shifted to cloud storage and things got easier since then. This was best for small enterprises as their data were protected and it has also enhanced their savings.

After being introduced in the 115th United States Congress, the act was included as a section of the consolidated Appropriation act, an omnibus spending bill, which passed both houses of Congress and was signed into law.

 On April 17, 2018, the supreme court based on a concurring brief submitted by the department of justice, vacated the United States v. Microsoft Corp. and remanded it back to the lower court to do the same. Which became moot

.

 In international reactions, The European data protection supervisor viewed the cloud act as a law in possible conflict with the GDPR. The Germans have tried to protect the US-based Amazon web services for storing sensitive data for the federal police. There is a parallel law known as china's national intelligence law. 

This law has been created to secure the data by the company and minimize the impact of data security.

Case Laws related to Defamation in favour of ClaimantCase Laws related to Defamation in favour of Claimant. TOLLEY Vs, J.S FRY & SONS LTD – (1931) Facts The defendants were owners of chocolate manufacturing company. They advertised their products with a caricature of the claimant, who was a prominent amateur golfer, showing him with the defendants’ chocolate in his pocket while playing golf. The advertisement compared the excellence of the chocolate to the excellence of the claimant’s drive. The claimant did not consent to or knew about the advertisement. Issue The claimant alleged that the advertisement suggested that he agreed to his portrait being used for commercial purposes and for financial gain. He further claimed that the use of his image made him look like someone who prostituted his reputation for advertising purposes and was thus unworthy of his status. At trial, several golfers gave evidence to the effect that if an amateur sold himself for advertisement, he no longer maintained his amateur status and might be asked to resign from his respective club. Furthermore, there was evidence that the possible adverse effects of the caricature on the claimant’s reputation were brought to the defendants’ attention. The trial judge found that the caricature could have a defamatory meaning. The jury then found in favor of the claimant. Held The House of Lords held that in the circumstances of this case – as explained by the facts – the caricature was capable of constituting defamation. In other words, the publication could have the meaning alleged by the claimant. The Lords also ordered a new trial limited to the assessment of damages. NEWSTEAD V LANDON EXPRESS NEWSPAPER LTD, (1939) Facts: A newspaper published a defamatory article about Harold Newstead. However, another person with this name brought an action in libel. He claimed that the article had been misunderstood as leading to him. The defendant newspaper recognised that they published the article. Also, they denied that they had the intention of being defamatory of him. Consequently, the claimant argued that the newspaper was under a duty. The duty was to give a clear and complete description of the correct person. Moreover, the claimant argued that the defendants were in breach of the duty. Issues: The issue in Newstead v London Express Newspaper, was if the reasonable persons would have understood the words complained of to refer to the plaintiff. Held: The Court of Appeal stated that in accordance with the current law on libel, liability for libel does not depend on the intention of the defamer; but on the fact of the defamation. Accordingly, a reasonable man, in this case a newspaper publisher, must be aware of the possibility of individuals with the same name and must assume that the words published will be read by a reasonable man with reasonable care.
