This book examines the legal and policy aspects of cybersecurity.
It takes a much needed look at cybersecurity from a geopolitical
perspective. Through this lens, it seeks to broaden the reader’s
understanding of the legal and political considerations of individuals,
corporations, law enforcement, and regulatory bodies and
management of the complex relationships between them. In drawing
on interviews conducted with experts from a wide range of
fields, the book presents the reader with dilemmas and paradigms
that confront lawmakers, corporate leaders, and law enforcement
and national leaders. The book is structured in a novel format by
employing a series of vignettes, which have been created as exercises
intended to confront the reader with the dilemmas involved
in cybersecurity. Through the use of vignettes, the work seeks
to highlight the constant threat of cybersecurity against various
audiences, with the overall aim of facilitating discussion and reaction
to actual probable events. In this sense, the book seeks to
provide recommendations for best practices in response to the
complex and numerous threats related to cybersecurity.
This book will be of interest to students of cybersecurity,
terrorism, international law, security studies, and IR in general,
as well as policy makers, professionals, and law enforcement
officials.
