AbstractDespite an ongoing drive by governments and law enforcers around the world to improve the sophistication of their risk mitigation measures, cyber-attacks are continually increasing. A study from Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) shows more than 4,000 ransomware attacks occurred daily in 2016. That's a 300 percent increase over 2015, where 1,000 ransomware attacks were seen per day. Cyber criminals are successfully penetrating even the most high-profile companies and governmental agencies. The breach at the NSA was truly alarming and just one recent example of the dire situation the country, and world, face as cybercrime intensifies and the cyber security talent shortage becomes more serious.Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to focus on cyber education at the national, government, and law enforcement level examining the methodology to set the tone from the top ensuring alignment between governments, law enforcers, private sector, and academic level. It also examines the gaps in cyber laws and educational governance initiatives and their impact on efficient execution of cyber policies for various regions of the world with a focus on the United Arab Emirates and the United States of America.Finally, this article recommends policy guidelines and a compliance manual framework for governments and law enforcers to consider ensuring that cyber risks are properly addressed and mitigated in a structured and coherent way.

AbstractDespite an ongoing drive by organizations around the
world to improve the sophistication of their risk
mitigation measures, cyber-attacks are continually
increasing. A study by Panda Labs shows in Q3 in
2016 alone, 18 million new malware samples were
captured.2 Another study from Computer Crime and
Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) shows more
than 4,000 ransomware attacks occurred daily in
2016. That's a 300% increase over 2015, where 1,000
ransomware attacks were seen per day.3 These studies reflect the double effect of
technology—connecting the world and facilitating
cyber-attacks simultaneously.
