الإطار القانوني لحماية المؤسسات من الإحتيال الإلكتروني

Abstract

Electronic fraud in the era of digital technology constitutes a highly serious threat that endangers the security and stability of both public and private institutions alike. This has necessitated legislative and institutional responses at both international and national levels to confront and counter this crime. Accordingly, international, regional, and national legislations and organizations have established legal mechanisms and frameworks to combat this persistent threat. These mechanisms have played a significant role in protecting institutions against electronic fraud. The study concluded that the existing legal framework, despite encompassing numerous legal provisions and institutional mechanisms aimed at combating electronic fraud, still faces several challenges in terms of effective implementation. This is largely due to the complex and evolving nature of cyber fraud crimes confronting institutions in the digital space. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop both international and national legal systems, including the modernization of criminal laws, the strengthening of investigative procedures, and the enhancement of international cooperation. Additionally, raising legal and technical awareness within institutions and activating the role of regulatory bodies are crucial steps in preventing this category of crimes.
