Key Legal Implications of Computer Network Defense
Computers and information technology have become a ubiquitous facet of our professional and personal lives. One of Americaâs greatest challenges is to balance its citizensâ privacy and civil liberties with an effective ability to:
Protect Americaâs information infrastructure;
Detect potential attacks by joy-hackers, economic competitors, criminals, terrorists, and hostile states; and,
Respond effectively in a way that is compatible with American democratic principles and international law.
In todays society, an attack on Americas information infrastructure is a threat to our very way of life ö and every system owner must understand the legal regime that governs how his or her computer network can be effectively defended.
This presentation will provide a detailed survey of the legal issues and problems involved in computer network defense ö what is lawful, what is unlawful, why is international and foreign law important, and how should the private and government sectors craft an effective computer network defense within the legal restrictions found in U.S. domestic, international, and foreign law. It will conclude with a series of recommendations on how the private and government sectors can improve Americaâs defense against computer network attacks.
