Course description

This course tackles two major cyber law subjects.  The first part of the course examines various U.S. laws and legal considerations that impact the digital and cyberspace worlds from a traditional civilian perspective – from freedom of expression to internet regulations to information-gathering and access to intellectual property to privacy.  The second part will familiarize students interested in becoming civilian or military investigative or cyber operations professionals about the extent of and limitations on their authorities to ensure that their work complies with U.S. law, regulations, directives, and policies.  The course will also introduce students to the wide variety of issues that fall within the broad umbrella of cyber law.

This simulation letter to the governor about privacy protection helped me understand how many sectors of our society would be affected by certain cyber policies getting put in place. Ensuring that privacy protections of some degree are being implemented for every individual in our society is a situation that arises all too often. This project gave me insight on how to properly convey the feelings and security of individuals to a person in a higher position than I am, and understanding how to properly communicate issues is a key skill in the cybersecurity career field.
