This essay will grandstand how to own ownership of digital assets in a safe andsecure manner by a Will.Privacy is the basic right required for everyone to protect self-dignity of individuals,the rights also signify the base on which the human rights are built upon (Glennon, 2014).Privacy creates a boundary where the user should limit themselves and should abide by therules so that one’s privacy remains intact.Digital privacy is basically connected to the digital media and digital media andcloud computing. The intruders attack the computer system and threaten the authenticity andprivacy of one's system (Ferrante, 2013). The use of cryptographic software assists inprotecting the privacy of the system. The digital privacy law of Australia consists of the following parameters-themanagement of the personal data that must have a privacy policy, the user should use an aliasname for where there is a chance or capability, the accumulation of solicited data whichinvolves the personal data must be secured and unsolicited data involving the notice which isreceived from the external sources must be taken care of (Hopkins, Lipin & Whitham, 2014).The principle includes the procedures by which the data can be handled, used or eventuallyputting an end to the activities regarding the personal data.

Another concerning issue is the cloud technology, with the help of cloud serviceone can store important files and data in the store, the cloud technology can be vulnerable andput to risks if the network is poorly secured.The digital privacy can be secured by the following means. The hardware andsoftware applied firewalls can prevent the unauthorised access and thus allow the authorisedports, protocols and applications access. The antimalware software can secure the systems’contents by mitigating the virus and worms’ effects. The access points of the wirelessequipment must be secured to get flawless internet security services. Here the securityscanning tools can assist any unauthorised access to the system (Kundi et al., 2014). Thenetwork components should be properly authenticated and authorised that means thepassword files must be checked and verified whether it is strong enough or not.Digital legacy is the procedure to protect the digital materials from the vulnerabilitiesand the risks. The digital files include files, images, videos, online accounts, e-wallets. Thebusiness organisations run their business organisations online, deliver emails online, they alsoconduct their business activities in the cloud, so it is important to prepare a will for all thedigital assets (Banta, 2014).
