Principles and Procedures Associated with Cybersecurity in Internet Service Providers
Introduction
It is increasingly important to highlight and appraise policies and measures pioneered within specific entities that have proved capable of generating impact in reducing cybersecurity threats. Cybersecurity principles and procedures provides a framework for managing networks within organizations. That said, it is essential for organizations to develop their capacity to address most mainstream cyber security threats at their source to safeguard their clients. Many cyberattacks happen by exploiting comparatively simple weaknesses and could increasingly be identified and reduced before they reach possible victims. This report builds on literature to develop a set of feasible practice principles for Internet Services Providers (ISPs) as well as other entities involved in providing and supporting online communications.
Rationale for Subject Choice
It is important to develop and understand optimal practice principles for ISPs and other related organizations. The rationale is to make it significantly more challenging for online criminals to unlawfully derive benefits from unsuspecting members of the public. In that way, this report seeks to enhance collaborations across private and public sectors to create a “barrier to entry” for attackers more strong. The report would lead a fundamental shift to cybersecurity understanding and deterrence measures and thus enhance the digital economy. Extant literature describes the impact of cybercrimes across the globe to the magnitude of the threat (Jordan, 2020). The financial implications of cybercrime on individuals and businesses continues to rise, with Accenture estimating the cybercrime cost to businesses to have risen by 72 percent over the previous five years (Accenture Security, 2019, p.11).
The key cybersecurity issues analyzed here are tailored to capitalize on the fact that profit margins for respective attacks are negligible. Any activity that can be implemented to raise the cost of carrying out a cybercrime or has the potential to undermine organizational profitability, therefore, impacts the criminals’ motivation to conduct attacks and the return on investment respectively. Widespread adoption of comparatively straightforward, industry-centered protocols and practices including those incorporated into the principles will significantly impact on the negative ramifications of cyberattacks. Implementation of these principles and practices would heighten the barrier to entry for malicious parties inclined to carry out attacks and thus mitigate the effect of a considerable number of common online crimes. ISPs and other communication infrastructure and services providers holds a unique position within the online ecosystem (Jordan, 2020, p.5). The principles herein would assist facilitate discourse at diverse levels of these entities about their positioning towards detecting or preventing cybercrime and the degree to which such facilities are partnering to attain shared benefits.
