CSIAC SME and member of the American Bar Association’s Information Security Committee, Richard “Rick” Aldrich, gives a snapshot of the recent developments in cyberlaw, policy, standards, court cases and industry legal frameworks. This report provides updates to an earlier report on cyberlaw from June of 2019 which can be viewed here: https://www.csiac.org/csiac-report/evolving-developments-in-cyberlaw-2019/
This presentation was given at the annual meeting of the American Bar Association’s Information Security Committee. The Committee is comprised of a diverse group of lawyers, security experts, technologists, auditors and other professionals, whose focus includes the examination and analysis of legal, business, and technical aspects of securing the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. The Committee’s focus spans across the spectrum of information security issues, including: emerging issues surrounding the protection of information and critical infrastructures within computer systems and networks, such as the Internet; all aspects of litigation involving computer ecosystems as well as the electronic information generated by them; and regulatory and legal information security compliance and contracting.

Mr. Aldrich, great presentation. Law enforcement across the board need more training on what is legally permissive with new technology. The legislators and judicial system is about 15 years behind in provided consistent legal standing for digital investigations.
Thank you Mr. Walton for the kind message. Please contact CSIAC if you would like me to make an updated presentation to your organization. There have been many new cases in just the last few months! I provide presentations that are focused to law enforcement, counterintelligence, system administrator, or legal audiences, but can also provide more general briefings to address mixed audiences.
