Popis: Cyber-attacks can steal information by applying different methods and activities of cyber criminals, thereby destroying data, computer programs, and networking on one or more computers. There is an increase in new technology among users, and it provides them with more convenience. On the other hand, cyber-attacks are increasing dramatically today. The world is completely focused on creating social distancing between people. During the WHO-recommended COVID-19 pandemic, billions of people around the world are working from home, with shops and businesses closed. In their investigation of the environment, researchers have uncovered a notable type of cybercrime that has an impact on society and businesses. The pandemic has accelerated the transition of government employees and businesses to an actual workplace ecosystem. Dramatic changes in the workplace have created new and multi-layered challenges in dealing with cybersecurity risks and threats. Cyber-attacks can create problems that are detrimental to the economy, human privacy, and national security. These attacks have different perspectives on the problem and need to be understood first. In this chapter, the authors highlight several essential concerns and challenges facing e-government development as well as different departments that provide e-services. They also focus on and peer evaluate the major concerns and challenges facing e-government growth from a holistic perspective, offering methodologies and policy recommendations to address them in a complete and inclusive manner.
