Cybersecurity professionals operate in a legal landscape that spans continents, jurisdictions, and regulatory systems. In this episode, we examine the major types of legal systems—common law, civil law, religious law, and customary law—and how each influences how cybersecurity is enforced. We also explore global cybercrime laws and treaties, including the Budapest Convention, and review how international cooperation is achieved in cyber investigations. Understanding the legal frameworks that govern data, privacy, and technology helps CISSPs ensure compliance, support law enforcement, and avoid conflicts across borders.
