Who should have Cybersecurity Law Fundamentals?

Cybersecurity Law Fundamentals is both a primer and a reference volume, with pointers to more in-depth resources. It organizes the disparate threads of cybersecurity law into a framework. It can be picked up and perused by generalists and newcomers to the field: the general counsel of a corporation whose area of expertise may be far from cybersecurity but who must have a basic understanding of regulatory requirements and of the legal risk the company will face when it suffers a breach; the policymaker interested in understanding the gaps in the law and filling them; the attorney seeking a career transition to a rapidly growing practice area; the journalist trying to contextualize a new executive order or legislative proposal. But it also serves the cybersecurity practitioner looking for a quick refresher or a citation.

Updates And supplemental material

The purpose of this website is three-fold: (1) Since the law in this field is changing so rapidly, this website hosts regular updates to the second edition of Cybersecurity Law Fundamentals. (2) These pages host supplemental material omitted from the second edition mainly to keep the printed volume to a reasonable length. Here, for example, you will find long lists of cases further representing points in the book. The format of each chapter is to place updates, if any, first, then followed by any supplemental material. (3) This website preserves updates to the first edition, mainly as archival material, but also to support users as they transition to the second edition. Everything in the first edition updates is now reflected in the second edition

Caution: The supplemental material and updates here will likely have little meaning, and could be confusing or even misleading, without the full volume.
