Applying Law of War to Cyber Operations

This event is hosted by The Cyber Security Forum Initiative (CSFI) and George Washington University's Cybersecurity Strategy and Information Management Master's Program.

Cyber law experts will cover Title 10 vs. Title 32 vs. Title 50 and the lawful and operational restrictions related to these authorities. The panelists will discuss the legal processes of projecting power in the domain of cyberspace and what capabilities require legal review relating to Defensive Cyberspace Operations (DCO) -- both Internal Defense Measure (IDM) and Response Actions (RA) -- as well as Offensive Cyberspace Operations (OCO).

The panel will cover existing laws of war applicable to cyberspace operations and their interpretations. This is a wonderful opportunity for organizations providing cyber support/capabilities and for anyone particularly interested in learning more about law and policy for cyberspace operations in times of peace and in times of war.
