Article #1 Review

The principles of social science involve studying the human behavior and
society to understand how people interact and make choices. It can be involved in
fields such as sociology, psychology, anthropology, economics, and in its own
way, cybersecurity. I say cybersecurity because often, especially when it comes to
battling cybercrimes, analysts must monitor and understand every move the cyber
criminal chooses to make to be able to track down the vulnerability and put a stop
to it. According to the article “ Identifying the Prevalence of Cybercrime in
Indonesian Corporations: A Corporate Legislation Perspective”
(https://cybercrimejournal.com/menuscript/index.php/cybercrimejournal/article/vie
w/130/43) “It has been observed that cybercrime has increased in Indonesia.
As a result, policymakers have enacted telematic laws to combat the increase in
cybercrime and regulate the occurrence of telecommunication accidents in the
country (Amin & Huda, 2021).” This shows that battling cybercrime has a direct
hand in hand relation with studying cyber behaviors in order to prevent
cybercrimes. This article touches on the continuous development and improvement
of IT infrastructure in businesses to battle cybercrimes. When cybersecurity
analysts are trying to track down the vulnerabilities in the network they have to
analyze every little thing and every move made on the network just as one would
in understanding people in real life. The first article selected mainly focuses on the
rise of cyber crime rates increasing in Indonesia. According to the article Indonesia
is at the top of the list for “Ten riskiest Countries in terms of Cybercrime Rate”.
The researchers are focused on 2 main goals and these goals are the prevalence of
cybercrime in Indonesian businesses and the impact of these crimes on the
countries corporate laws. The studies done in this passage have mainly been based
off of the cyber laws in the country of Indonesia. Researchers for this issue chose
the qualitative inductive approach for the data collection of the current
research because it enables the researcher to easily analyze large amounts of
data collected, as the present study focuses on the prevalence of cybercrime
within Indonesian corporations and the assessment of legislative rules and
regulations enforced by various countries to eradicate cybercrime at the
corporation level. These methods of research correlate to some of the things that I
have learned from the PowerPoint presentations because they have the same
ideology. Although Indonesia may not be in the best place right now, I am sure that
through research and a few crack downs on vulnerabilities they will be able to
upgrade and protect these cyber victims from being harmed by cybercriminals.
This would be a great help to society as a whole.
The second article I chose to write my review on is based on Saudi
Arabia. The article “Cyber Security Challenges Faced by Employees in the
Digital Workplace of Saudi Arabia’s Digital Nature Organization” by Dr.
Vimala Venugopal Muthuswamy states “Digitalization has increased the
need for businesses to safeguard their assets from cyber threats. The digital
workplace is not an exception, and a lack of employee awareness and
knowledge about cyber threats can make organizations susceptible to
cyberattacks.” This goes hand in hand with the principles of social science as
well but in a slightly more similar way. The first article related by
understanding the ins and outs of the vulnerabilities but this article relates to
the human understanding of the threat that is produced. With employees not
having an understanding of the concept of cyberattacks and threats of that
nature, they will move around blindly. Employees who have no regard for
cyber safety will open any email which could be a potential phish attack or
click any link which could lead to the computer to be infected with worms.
When working in a computer based environment everyone should have an
idea of the cyber threats presented links directly with the principles of social
science. In this article researchers studied various aspects such as the level
of cyber security awareness among Saudi Arabian business employees. His
research found that even though users had a general concept of the idea of
cyber risks they did not get the proper training and guidance before hand from
employers which is what led to so many cyber issues. Many employees were
apparently “oblivious” of most risks and vulnerabilities associated with their
online work. A lot of the research in this passage was direct research
accumulated through direct companies and employers that worked for
computer based companies. This research involves gathering information and
calculating it through percentages. Overall cyber crimes are a big concern to
the world and should be cracked down. In order to do this, people and
companies will have to implement the principles of social science and get a
understanding of what this issue actually is and how big it can get. We should
all be extremely mindful in understanding how to go about almost everything
we do.
