Recent cyber attacks have highlighted the importance of cybersecurity. Organizations need professionals at all levels—not just in the IT department—who understand the technical, legal and business aspects of cybersecurity risk management, as well as how to safeguard privacy and intellectual property. This new course takes an interdisciplinary, global approach to introduce students to cybersecurity risk management. Course content includes U.S., comparative, and international law related to managing cyber attacks along with connected hot topics such as Internet governance, blockchain, Internet of Things, privacy, and cybersecurity codes of conduct. The primary aim of the course is to provide students with a basic working knowledge of cybersecurity law and policy, focusing on the United States but put in a global perspective.
