This course explores ethical norms around cybersecurity; covers relevant laws, regulations, and standards; and explains how organizations meet requirements to comply with them. We discuss how laws and technology intersect in the context of international, national, and local judicial structures, as organizations safeguard information systems from cyberattacks.
