Summer Cybersecurity Faculty Development

Cybersecurity Law

    5/22 – 6/18 Asynchronous                        6/17 In person at UCCS 

Along with physical, technical, and administrative safeguards, cybersecurity law is an increasingly important tool that society relies on to help safeguard digital information. A course on cybersecurity law can be an important supplement to your technical cybersecurity courses.

What’s the best way to introduce cybersecurity law to students? This four -week workshop will provide a strong foundation for introducing cybersecurity law to students of all backgrounds—technical and nontechnical. We will explore topics such as the nature of the United States legal system, different types of laws that enhance cybersecurity, and specific cybersecurity-related laws such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, data breach laws, and industry-specific laws such as HIPAA. This workshop will also focus on the Fourth Amendment, the Electronic Data Protection Act, and the Fifth Amendment.

Participants will receive sample syllabi options with textbook suggestions, supplemental reading materials and ideas, sample slide decks, test questions,
assignments, and a host of ideas for teaching cybersecurity law. This course will emphasize that cybersecurity law is an important, interesting, and exciting part of today’s cybersecurity landscape and will help you make this topic exciting, relevant, and accessible for all students. Participants will receive 4 CEU's for this workshop.
