Furthermore, readers will also become acquainted with the concepts of network neutrality and human rights, as they go hand in hand. With the risks and aftereffects of cybercrimes in mind, we also explore the legal aspect of cybercrimes by analyzing the concept of computer forensics. Some best practices pertaining to countermeasures to information warfare are also discussed.
