Expanding its educational outreach, the University of Maryland Center for Health and Homeland Security(CHHS) held a comprehensive symposium this month entitled “The Law and Policy of Cybersecurity.” The event, co-sponsored by the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law (Maryland Carey Law), was held at the Universities at Shady Grove in Rockville, Md.
Aimed at legal and cyber professionals in the Baltimore and D.C. region who were interested in expanding their knowledge of critical issues, challenges, and legal developments surrounding cybersecurity, the one day Symposium was a first for CHHS. Under the direction of Founder Michael Greenberger, JD, CHHS has developed academic coursework in cybersecurity at Maryland Carey Law while also providing cyber policy development for private sector clients. The Center is also often called upon by legislative bodies and the media to discuss complex cybersecurity issues.
Welcoming the nearly 100 participants, Maryland Carey Law Dean Donald Tobin, JD, pointed out that “Cybersecurity is not just for cyber engineers or software developers. It’s a vital new field with important legal and policy dimensions.” Tobin also shared educational opportunities at the law school with the audience, including recently launched Master of Science in Law and LL.M. programs with specializations in cybersecurity. University System of Maryland students who are interested in cybersecurity careers were among the attendees. For the full article click here
