Global economy is rotating on the fulcrum of the Internet economy. Billions of people are using the Internet. From starting off as some kind of an experiment, it has grown to indispensability. All commercial markets rely on the power of information technology through the Internet. Transportation, logistics, and governance all rely on the Internet infrastructure. Economies are using the Internet as the backbone of their economic activities.

Questions arise, as to how efficiently the Internet is being used, and up to what capacity of the Internet has been utilized. Accessibility to Internet has increased manifold. Trend has changed to wireless Internet services from traditional wired services. So many breakthrough inventions are happening based on the support that Internet supplies. Internet is a sea of information. An incomparable array of knowledge and wisdom is manifested in the Internet.

Internet can be risky to manage in businesses solely relying on it for all its processes. Supply chain activities hire Internet as the backbone of all its activity. Banking industries are getting banking applications and logins on the web servers. All this does raise the stature of the Internet, but also questions its security. If everything is moved the Internet, then any security glitch will be devastating. Just like a falling house of cards, foolproof systems will fail to reestablish the loss.

Only creating cyber policies can increase Internet’s reputation. Information networks can be made more robust to protect mission-critical data. Personal information can have a rearguard policy as well, so that all personal information is capsular, and insulated.

Due to the non-demarcate quality of the Internet, it is a free and open playing field. Freedom of varying degrees can be exercised on the Internet. Rules, regulations, can also be flouted. Cyber crime is a big industry on the Internet. Malware is a bane of the Internet. Efforts to make it extinct, if not non-existent have not made much headway. Because of the unrestricted nature of the Internet, anybody can develop malware from anywhere. Technological advancements can only be the right answer to make the Internet a secure transacting medium.
