The present state of cybersecurity law and regulation at both national and local levels is assessed in this review paper. The report gives an overview of the key legislation and initiatives, analyses their efficiency, and reveals new trends. The research method comprises a thorough analysis of academic literature, government publications, official websites, legal sources, news items and experts' reports. The paper begins by pointing out the importance of cybersecurity in today's interconnected world, where cyber threats are constantly evolving and posing major risks to individuals, organizations and national governments. The report draws attention to studies which show that businesses have suffered financially and may face disruption in the core infrastructure as a result of cybercrime. Key legislation, such as the Federal Information Security Modernization Act, and the role of agencies such as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), are covered in the overview of federal cybersecurity legislation and regulations. The scope, effectiveness and implications of such national measures to address cyber security challenges shall be assessed in the evaluation. New trends in cybercrime legislation, such as an increase in data breach reporting requirements and a focus on security of essential infrastructures are identified in the review paper. It examines legislative efforts to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities in key sectors such as healthcare. Consideration shall be given to the strengths and weaknesses of the existing legal framework, as well as recommendations for strengthening cybersecurity laws and regulations.
