Issues of Information Privacy, Security and Confidentiality in Cyberspace

Description

A critical guide to protecting digital trust in a hyperconnected world.

In this timely and comprehensive publication, we unpacks the growing challenges surrounding data privacy, security, and confidentiality in today’s digitally saturated environment. As personal and consumer data becomes increasingly vulnerable to breaches and misuse, Issues of Information Privacy, Security, and Confidentiality in Cyberspace provides a foundational exploration of the laws, ethics, and emerging frameworks necessary to safeguard information integrity.

Grounded in theoretical models such as Cybernetic Theory and Protection Motivation Theory (PMT), this research illuminates how institutions and public service agencies (PSAs) can evolve their practices to anticipate, prevent, and respond to information misuse. The work highlights both systemic vulnerabilities and actionable strategies for organizations and policy-makers tasked with protecting sensitive consumer data in cyberspace.

Highlights include:

• Regulatory compliance models and internal data breach mitigation

• Ethical obligations vs. legal compliance in data protection

• The evolving role of FICO, FTC, and legislative frameworks

• Role-based permissions and Information Rights Management (IRM)

• The economic consequences of information opacity and market trust loss

This publication is an essential resource for information security professionals, educators, government agencies, legal scholars, and anyone involved in managing or protecting digital data in the 21st century.
