Major data breaches in the US have compromised over 1 billion accounts, yet few cyber attackers are caught due to limited laws governing cyber crimes. The author argues that cyber security professionals should raise public awareness of the need for cyber laws and help direct related policy discussions. Current laws struggle to keep up with advancing cyber threats. The document discusses potential legal frameworks for responding to state-sponsored cyber attacks based on existing laws of engagement, including allowing retaliatory but nonviolent responses to nonviolent attacks, and permitting military force against armed cyber attacks equivalent to physical violence. The author advocates educating lawmakers on these frameworks to help pass comprehensive cyber legislation.
