With frequent hacks targeting various sectors and the government’s goal of becoming a global leader in cybersecurity facing challenges, organizations are advocating for legal clarity on ‘active cyber defence.’ As businesses grapple with cyber intruders, the use of ‘deception’ tools is proposed, but the legal landscape remains uncertain. The complexity of responding to cyber threats underscores the necessity for comprehensive cybersecurity strategies and regulatory frameworks.
