Potential Investigational 4th Amendment, International, and Potential Attribution Issues
In this particular scenario, the organization XYZ is facing major systems security issues, and the company CTO, Jonathan, wants to set up practical system monitoring applications. Agent Paul, who is investigating the matter, determines that there are two separate incidents of system security mishaps at the company, which has caused problems. As a solution, Paul assigns a Computer Analysis and Response Team to handle the situation. Paul also recommends more steps to help solve this particular situation and ensure security stability in this organization. Therefore it is essential to try and make some investigative measures proposed by Agent Paul, and each of these steps will have particular consequences and implications in this entire scenario. He reveals that there were two separate attacks and that the first was an external attack that came from a sophisticated hacker while the second was much less advanced and possibly an insider at the XYZ Corp.[Chua, Hui Na, Anthony Herbland, Siew Fan Wong, and Younghoon Chang. "Compliance to personal data protection principles: A study of how organizations frame privacy policy notices." Telematics and Informatics 34, no. 4 (2017): 157-170.]
Because these were two different hacks, the investigation was split into two to determine the best possible steps to curb this particular problem. The first investigative mechanism includes the use of Computer Analysis and Response Team, which consists of specialized agents who are skilled in dealing with such scenarios. It is crucial to consider the fourth amendment issues concerned with the fourth Amendment implicates the importance of digital privacy, and it reveals the importance of the government obtaining a warrant to collect digital information from an individual or of an organization as well. The 4th Amendment states that '" the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated…".[Ibid1]
This particular law reveals that there needs to be a probable cause in the searching for personal information, and there has to be proof of imminent danger and destruction. Agent Paul has set up the Computer Analysis and Response Team to investigate and gather evidence that will help in remediation. This Team will examine digital evidence from the organization and determine how this would be connected to this particular scenario. However, this would mean that the privacy of information at the organization would remain in jeopardy, therefore, leading to uncertain outcomes. The critical concern is whether the confidentiality of data at the XYZ organization would remain compromised. The international law also recognizes the importance of data protection as well as the protection of privacy data for better outcomes. Though several investigative measures have been suggested in this particular scenario, it is imperative to be aware of the risks of these measures on a short and long term scale. There is a considerable chance that the data in the XYZ organization will be exploited, and this may be detrimental to the organization. There is a considerable chance that sophisticated profiling and tracking may be implemented in this scenario, and this can be very risky for the organization, there is a possibility that this may have a devastating impact on the organization.[Perkins, James Andrew, Nicholas D. Thayer, and Corey Adam Cohen. "Privacy preserving cross-organizational data sharing with anonymization filters." U.S. Patent 10,614,248, issued April 7, 2020.]
