Diploma in Internet Law and Information Security

The World Wide Web presents an incredible opportunity for business of every size and shape to peddle their products and services to a market audience of potentially anybody in the world with access to a computer, or now even a WAP phone, at a comparatively small cost. The Internet has taken the world by storm.  Contrary to prophecies of doom, e-commerce is growing at a tremendous rate and will continue to be with us, establishing itself as a formidable medium of cross-border commerce.  The tremendous rates of growth of the Internet and e-commerce have outpaced the rate of specific Internet legislation being drafted to govern this new trading arena.  For now, legislation is playing a “catching up” game. 

With the advent of internet, the concept of information security has also come into picture. It refers to the adoption of techniques to protect any information, print or electronic, private or sensitive, from any unauthorised access, use, processing, alteration etc.

The Diploma in Internet Law and Information Security is brought to you by one of the renowned law firms in the field in India, Scriboard Advocates and Legal Consultants in association with Enhelion. It discusses the emerging trends and issues in the realm of Internet law and information security vis-à-vis digital signatures, electronic evidence, jurisdictional issues in the cyberspace, data protection issues, intermediary liability and the regulation  of internet.

According to the law firms and our policy, the course fees will not be refunded.

In every walk of life, the process of evaluation takes place in one form or the other. If the evaluation process is eliminated from human life then perhaps the aim of life may be lost. Being in the same line, Enhelion is committed to evaluate the process of learning through its courses.

The evaluation will be conducted in a two-fold manner. There will be two MCQ tests which would test the basic understanding on the topics covered in the course. Furthermore, there will be one Project Assignment, which would test the analytical understanding of the same.

The most intriguing aspect of the evaluation process is the time flexibility it affords. You can take the MCQ test and submit the project assignment as per your convenience.

To be eligible to receive a certificate after successful completion of the course, one is required to secure a minimum of 40 percent overall.
