National Security Issues in Cyberspace
(Law) – blended-learning format
The law and strategy of cybersecurity are unsettled. This course will situate cybersecurity within the framework(s) of national security law and policy. Topics will include the domestic and international legal foundations of cyber operations (defensive and offensive), strategic considerations involved in cyber conflict (including the role of deterrence in cyberspace), and the overlap and distinctions between cybersecurity and intelligence operations. This course will also engage with the national security institutions involved in the provision of cybersecurity and its oversight, as well as with potential avenues for international cooperation in the prevention and resolution of cyber conflict.
