What is cyber law?
Cyber law a is legislation focused on the acceptable behavioral use of technology including computer hardware and software, the internet, and networks.
Cyber law is the part of the overall legal system that deals with the Internet, cyberspace, and their respective legal issues. Cyber law covers a fairly broad area, encompassing several subtopics including freedom of expression, access to and usage of the Internet, and online privacy.
Cyber law is the use of a computer as an instrument to further illegal ends, such as committing fraud, trafficking in child pornography and intellectual property, stealing identities, or violating privacy.

Why is it hard to make law for cyber space?
Rapid and divergent ideologies development by people with the malicious intent. The more the responsible bodies for formulating cyber laws come up with solutions to combat cyber-crimes, the more the cyber-criminals developed masquerading tricks to fulfill their intents moreover from different territorial boundaries.
The imaginary nature of the cyber space makes it hard to trace the destination of criminals, time on which they schedule attacks and yet they hide their identity and attack or target different organizational or personal systems making it hard to draft an overall policy or law under which they can be easily held responsible of their deeds.
Why are cyber vulnerabilities unlikely to go a way?
The exponential growth of mobile devices drives an exponential growth in security risks. Every new smart phone, tablet or other mobile device, opens another window for a cyber-attack, as each creates another vulnerable access point to networks. These unfortunate dynamics are no secret to thieves who are ready and waiting with highly targeted malware and attacks employing mobile applications.
Clouds use rise also gives new breach incidents will highlight the challenges these services pose to forensic analysis and incident response and the matter of cloud security will finally get its due attention
Why developing country must collaborate with developed countries
Inability of developing countries to set up their own platform like internet as a way of zeroing down the scope to manageable levels due to the abnormal cost of setting up the satellites and national servers yet developed countries can use their surplus capital so that developing countries can rely on them.
Shortage of highly qualified technological work force to enhance national satellite platform and the heavy budget that it erodes to import such professionals. This is costly and encroaches on the already poverty-stricken countries further.
How could emerging trends influence the cyber law-making process in your country?
Social media platform issues.
Providing appropriate legislative and regulatory mechanisms but also provide for effective remedies for red resale to the victims of various unauthorized, unwanted criminal activities done in cyber space and social media.
Cyber security and its issues.
Amending of Information technology legislations that would help the protection, preservation and promotion of cyber security in the use of computers and communication devices.
Cloud computing challenges.
The relevant stakeholders including lawmakers and governments across the globe need to provide appropriate legal, policy and regulatory framework pertaining to legal aspects concerning cloud computing.
Spam Laws.
In the initial years, spam seemed to be targeted at computers but has now also targeted mobile phones. Email spam is the most common form of spamming; Mobile phone spam and instant messaging spam also exist. In majority of the countries there is no such anti-spam law, which has led to the further growth of spam. There is an increased need for the countries to come up with regulatory and legal framework for spam, as many countries have already become hotspots for generating spam.
Conclusion
Cyber-crime is now serious, widespread, aggressive, growing, and increasingly sophisticated, and poses major implications for national and economic security. Many industries, institutions, public- and private-sector organizations (particularly those within the critical infrastructure) are at significant risk. For businesses and governments alike, getting the Cyber Security posture right across all its elements will be vital for future growth, innovation and competitive advantage.
There is no single answer for success, but by working across public and private sector partnerships and by advancing security measures particularly with regard to mission-critical systems, processes and applications that are connected into cyberspace, businesses will be able to work towards a future environment that is both open and secure and prosperous.
