<div>Good morning,</div>
<div>The overall objective of a national cyber security strategy is to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.</div>
<div>The provisions contained in the KCA (amendment) Act, 2009 represent the primary threats that keep an organisation from attaining its goals. Cyber security strategy should be part of any organisation's overall asset protection program. The goals and objectives should be understood by all employees.</div>
<div>From an information security professional point of view, it is important to understand and provide organisational guidance with respect to the computer crime laws that relate to your operation. These can ofcourse be only the laws of your country or if your organisation operates in a multinational environment, can include laws of other countries.</div>
<div>An important part of information security consists of interpreting the law for top management and instituting policy and procedures designed to keep the organisation and its employees from violating the law.</div>
<div>Regarding,crimes commited across border, in some cases countries are requesting the extradiction of computer hackers who have never physically entered the country whose laws they have allegedly broken. Unfortunately, evidence rules generally differ in various legal systems,which poses other problems in the evidence collection approach.</div>
