We must also ensure that safeguards are in place to prevent misuse. The intent is not to legalise vigilantism or hacking back activity involving the disruption or degradation of systems. This must remain solely the prerogative of the state. Instead, implementation would be guided by a framework assessing proportionality, competence, intent and the balance between harm and benefit. This amendment would provide the necessary tool to ensure our cyber security professionals can operate effectively in a world facing increasingly intense cyber threats. We must secure the right legal framework for the 21st century.
