Objective and procedural mechanisms used to achieve cyber security (Algeria as a model

Abstract

Cyber security is considered as one of the main pillars for strengthening the security system of all countries. Rather, it has become an imperative necessity to confront cyber risks that threaten the entity, stability and sovereignty of states, due to their special nature, which does not recognize national borders and transcend borders, and the difficulty of tracking down the perpetrators due to the ease of removing evidence of conviction. These cyber threats have invaded All walks of life as a result of the rapid and astounding development of information and communication technologies, thus penetrating the privacy of private institutions and companies, and even the private lives of individuals.

       Algeria, like other countries, was not spared from the cyber threat, and it remedied the situation beginning in 2004 by enacting Law 04-15 amending and supplementing the Penal Code that includes crimes affecting automated data processing systems, and Law 06-22 amending and supplementing the Code of Criminal Procedures by introducing procedural mechanisms to combat cybercrime, with special texts. We mention the most important of them, Law 09-04, which includes the prevention of crimes related to information and communication technologies, which includes encouragement of international cooperation and judicial assistance.
