International Cybersecurity Conference

Notes: The conference will be held in English and open to the public.

Overview

Cybersecurity is at the forefront of issues deeply affecting both public and private sectors. Combating the pervasive threat of cyberattacks remains a top priority for regulators, policymakers, companies, and the information and communication technology (ICT) industry. Increasingly, however, we see rising tensions between public and private interests in the struggle to define the roles of governments and businesses in cyber risk management. A critical question is how to allocate responsibility for cybersecurity across all sectors.

The Beasley School of Law at Temple University, Japan Campus will explore this issue through a one-day conference on cybersecurity. The goal of the conference is to examine sources of tension over who bears responsibility for cybersecurity issues and the relative tradeoffs in pursuing different responsive models, including domestic lawmaking, international norms, industry standards, and technical cooperation. More broadly, the conference will offer a forum for open dialogue among policymakers, academics and industry stakeholders to explore the global community’s challenges in handling cybersecurity from a risk management approach. Incorporating multidisciplinary and international points of view, this event will inform and stimulate further thinking by participants in addressing the accountability question for cybersecurity from legal, policy, and corporate perspectives.
