While the term is nothing new, 'cybersecurity' still seems to be defined quite loosely and subjectively depending on context. This is problematic especially to legal writers for prosecuting cybercrimes that do not fit a particular clause/act. In fact, what is more difficult is the non-existent single 'cybersecurity law' in Malaysia, rather than the current implementation of 10-related cyber security acts. In this paper, the 10 acts are compiled into a corpus to analyse the language used in these acts via a corpus linguistics approach. A list of frequent words is firstly investigated to see whether the so-called related laws do talk about cybersecurity followed by close inspection of the concordance lines and habitually associated phrases (clusters) to explore use of these words in context. The 'compare 2 wordlist' feature is used to identify similarities or differences between the 10 Malaysian cybersecurity related laws against a corpus of cyber laws from other ASEAN countries. Findings revealed that ASEAN cyber laws refer mostly to three cybersecurity dominant themes identified in the literature: technological solutions, events, and strategies, processes, and methods, whereas Malaysian cybersecurity-related laws revolved around themes like human engagement, and referent objects (of security). Although these so-called cyber related policies and laws in Malaysia are highlighted in the National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA), their practical applications to combat cybercrimes remain uncertain.

When cyber attacks are discovered in nuclear facilities, licensees are required to notify regulatory organizations for quick action. This also helps regulatory organizations to strengthen regulatory capabilities for cyber security. Currently the U.S. issued the final draft rule for Cyber Security Event Notifications. Domestic regulatory activities being at an early stage for cyber security need to implement law for Cyber Security Event Notifications. Since the current laws are focused on the aspect of safety, they are in need of more specific laws for cyber security.

During the recent years, cyber attacks have been increasing both in the private sector and the government. Those include the DDOS cases in 2009, the Blue House cyber attack, bank hackings etc. Cyber threats are becoming increasingly serious. However, there is no basic law related to cyber security at present, and regulations related to cyber security are scattered in various domestic laws. This can lead to confusion in the application of the law and difficult to grasp the regulations related to cyber security. In order to overcome this situation, the bill on the prevention and countermeasures against cyber crisis was initiated in 2006, but it has been abrogated. Since then, it has been repeatedly proposed, but it has been abrogated repeatedly due to the overlapping of existing laws and concerns about infringement of personal information. The most recent initiative was the National Cyber Security Act, which was initiated by the government in January 2017. The act focuses on resolving the absence of a basic law related to cyber security, strengthening its responsiveness in the event of a cyber security crisis, and fostering security strength. Therefore, this study seeks to contribute to the establishment of National Cyber Security legislation as a basic law of cyber security by examining the necessity of National Cyber Security legislation through comparative legal analysis with existing domestic laws related to cyber security and suggesting policy implications.

The continuous evolution and proliferation of computer technology and our increasing dependence on computer technology have created a new class of threats: "cyber threats." These threats can be defined as activities that can undermine a society's ability to maintain internal or external order while using information technology. Cyber threats can be mainly divided into two categories, namely cyber-terrorism and cyber-warfare. A variety of malware programs are often used as a primary weapon in these cyber threats. A significant amount of research work has been published covering different aspects of cyber threats, their countermeasures, and the policy-making for cyber laws. This article aims to review the research conducted in various important aspects of cyber threats and provides synthesized information regarding the fundamentals of cyber threats; discusses the countermeasures for such threats; provides relevant details of high-profile cyber-attacks; discusses the developments in global policy-making for cyber laws, and lastly presents promising future directions in this area.

The use of EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) has expanded, providing convenience to flight crews by minimizing paper usage within aircraft and offering the latest information, operability, and convenience related to aircraft operations. EFBs provide flight-sensitive information such as aircraft performance calculations, airport diagrams, routes, and approach procedures. For these information, EFBs connect to the cyber environment through Wi-Fi or self-contained data communication, allowing access to cloud-based systems for information updates, with administrators uploading the latest information for retrieval. However, in contrast to the evolving aviation technology, there is currently no legislation or security policy in place to maintain the security of EFBs, leaving them exposed to potential cyber threats. Therefore, improvements such as revising relevant laws to address potential cyber threats targeting EFBs and establishing and implementing EFB management systems are necessary. This paper aims to present the necessity for amending laws related to EFB security in response to cyber threats and suggests methods for enhancement.

It is no doubt that information technology is the key factor of national safety. Information technology is positively useful for national security such as crime prevention and detection, criminal investigation, disaster management, and national defense. However, it might be a threat to the security as we saw in the examples such as '3.4 DDoS attacks' and 'Nong-hyup Computer Network Failure.' Although the effect that information technology makes upon the national security is immense, the current legal system does not reflect these changes well. National security should be kept during 'prevention-response-recovery' process regardless it is in the online on offline. In addition, public administration for national security should be based on laws. However, the current legal system is lack of legislative basis on cyber and physical disaster, and the laws on the response to disaster might cause confusing. Therefore, this study examines the limitation of the current legal system on national security, and suggests directions for the development of the system based on the new establishment of the legal concept for 'national security'.

In the mordern society, the reliance on the cyber domain and the cyber connectivity has been increasingly strengthened. Due to this phenomenon, the cyberterror against critical infrastructures and state organs might lead to fatal consequences. Lately, North Korea's cyberattacks against South Korea's national organizations and financial computer networks are becoming more and more intelligent and sophisticated. The cyberattacks against such critical infrastructures have caused enormous economic loss and social disorder. This paper is designed to examine comparatively the cyberterror related laws and organizations of the advanced countries such as U.S. and U.K. and to draw implications. Although those countries are under different institutional and cultural backgrounds with varying security envrionments, they are identically pursuing measures by establishing government-wide counterterror system for coordination and cooperation. They are also commonly focusing upon creating new organizations equipped with new system and upon enhancing intelligence performance and devising punishment regulations. Korea is lack of framework laws regulating cyber security, having only scattered individual laws. Since such legal base is far from efficient counterterror activities, it is necessary that the legal and policy response of the advanced countries should be closely studied for selective introduction. That will eventually lead to legislation of cyber security law. With such legislation on hand, it is subsequently required to strengthen crisis management for prevention of cyberterror and to create joint response team, cooperating with private organizations.

North Korea's cyber warfare capability is becoming a serious security threat to Korea because most of the operational systems of social infrastructure and advanced weapons system are all networked. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to examine what the Korean government should do to strengthen cyber security capabilities toward North Korea. For this purpose, this article analyzed North Korea's cyber attack cases against Korea by categorizing according to threat type and purpose. The research findings are as follows. It is necessary first, to have aggressive cyber protection and attack capabilities; second, to establish an integrated cyber security control tower that can be overseen by the national government; third, to need to legislate domestic cyber- related laws; fourth, to build a multilateral & regional cyber cooperation system. The implication of these findings are that it needs to be strengthened the cyber security capability from the cyber threats of North Korea by minimizing the damage during the peacetime period and for the complete warfare in case of emergency.
