ABSTRACT
There is a significant potential for international and
transnational action involving any data or information
other than data within a closed network within a single
state. The estimated 1.45 billion Internet users as of
October 2008[7] are connected to a transparent interna-
tional network. Even closed systems for high-security
corporate and governmental research and development
may involve data transfers from sources physically cross-
ing national borders. An information insurance program
should be aware of the potential for entanglements across
national borders.
