Regulating cyber matters is a complex task, as cyberspace is an intricate world full of new threats related to a person's identity, finance, and private information. Algorithm manipulation, hate crimes, cyber-laundering, and data theft are strong menaces in the cyber world. New technologies are generating both privacy and security issues involving anonymity, cross-border transactions, virtual communications, and assets, among others. This book is a collection of works by experts on cyber matters and legal considerations that need addressing in a timely manner. It comprises cross-disciplinary knowledge that is pooled to this end. Risk mitigation tools, including cyber risk management, data protection regulations, as well as ethical practice guidelines are reviewed in detail.

The regulatory issues associated with new technologies along with emergent challenges in the field of cybersecurity that require improved regulatory frameworks are considered. We probe ethical, material, and enforcement threats, thus revealing the inadequacy of current legal practices. To address these shortcomings, we propose new regulatory privacy and security guidelines that can be implemented to deal with the new technologies and cyber matters.

The main forms of malware can be categorized as follows:
•Computer viruses are software with predominantly destructive behavior designed to damage a computer system. They self-multiply and embed themselves in legitimate applications on the infected machine.
•Trojans are applications that trick the user into running them for a genuine purpose, while they attempt to exploit system vulnerabilities or open ports to allow remote access.
•Computer worms are released to infect and then propagate further through the network often slowing down or disabling afflicted systems.
•Adware is a category of applications which are generally free but aggressively display ads to the user and may attempt to trick them into installing additional adware.
•Spyware secretly records and transmits various types of data about the machine, the user’s activity, and their personal information.
•Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts user data, attempts to replicate onto other systems, may restrict access to them entirely, and requires a non-traceable payment to remove its effects. Completing the payment does not guarantee removal, although most ransomware developers will unblock access and decrypt in order to generate further payments from other victims, via security research articles or even word of mouth.
•Rogueware is a type of software which deceives users into thinking they have no choice but to pay in order to eradicate a fake infection of their machine. Most often, this type of application claims to remove malware but, in fact, installs other undesirable software.
•Scareware is an application that induces users’ fear, uncertainty, and doubt with the goal of proliferating malicious software.

A (Distributed) Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) attack aims to compromise the operation of specific Internet-facing services. One of the most common types of DDoS attacks is the packet flood, whereby an inordinate number of packets are sent to the target system with the goal of consuming all open connections and overloading network usage, leading to the crippling or cessation of services running on that system.
