In this episode of Life of a CISO, Dr. Eric Cole dives into a crucial, often-overlooked issue in cybersecurity: the complex, murky legal landscape of the internet. Unlike physical laws that have adapted over centuries to govern behaviors and boundaries within countries, laws governing cyberspace remain scattered, outdated, or even non-existent. Dr. Cole highlights how traditional legal systems, rooted in territorial boundaries, are poorly equipped to manage the global, boundaryless nature of the internet, where individuals and businesses can interact across continents within seconds. This presents pressing challenges: what laws apply when a U.S.-based company operates in multiple countries, or when online crimes are committed by entities in regions lacking extradition agreements?
Dr. Cole explores these uncharted waters, explaining why businesses and individuals are often left vulnerable. He stresses that CISOs must work closely with legal teams to navigate the complexity of international cyber laws, ensuring compliance and mitigating risks. Tune in to learn why, as cybersecurity continues to evolve, professionals with expertise in both law and cybersecurity will be in high demand to address these urgent, unresolved issues in cyber law.
