Computer Security Law Reading Room
|
|
In light of the recent slew of legal precedents being set in the security industry, SecurityAppraisers® would like to share these developments with you. We believe that, more than any other factor, legal imperatives will lead the way in defining the security practices and conventions, and legislation, governing the computer industry in the days to come. This is by no means an all encompassing list of Computer Security Law articles, but SecurityAppraisers® feels that these articles are among the more seminal and informative of the ones we have found. Articles are listed by category in reverse chronological order (the most recent ones appearing at the top of the list).
