Abstract
Information security professionals increasingly need to be familiar with developments in cyberlaw to ensure they comport their actions with the contours of the law. Unfortunately, with technology changing far faster than the statutes, judges are increasingly being called upon to fill in the interstices. In this interactive session, facts from actual cases will be presented in a "You Be the Judge" format to highlight important developments in recent cases and identify key trends in the case law. What is the legal efficacy of a click-through consent banner and how does this impact information security professionals? What constitutes an "interception" and what types of interceptions are legal and illegal? What law dictates whether an employer can or cannot inspect its employee's personal e-mail messages? Do individuals have to divulge their encryption keys requested to do so by border guards or law enforcement agents? Are there jurisdictional borders in cyberspace? Who has jurisdiction and how does the law apply in virtual worlds? How do extradition laws apply to cybercrimes? These and many other questions will be answered in this interactive seminar.About the Speaker
