Cyber security spans public and private, international and domestic law. A key focus question for this course is: How can cyber law regulate the behaviour of enterprise to protect the privacy of individuals and the integrity of algorithmic automation? The course offers a grounding in key legal frameworks linked to the protection of information in the digital environment and examines how technological developments threaten our security. It equips students with the skills and scholarship needed to confront novel challenges and to develop innovative, practical approaches to solving problems arising from the internet and platform-based technologies. To develop their knowledge and skills, students will complete readings and engage in seminars involving lectures, in-class exercises, discussions, and guest speakers who will provide deep dives into specific issues to tease out controversial and topical issues.
The proposed means of assessment for this course will provide students with at least two pieces of assessment, including one piece during the semester.
