> The Frontiers of Cybersecurity Policy and Law
> Over the course of two days in February 2016, as part of its Integrated
> Cybersecurity Studies
> <https://www.strausscenter.org/strauss-articles/integrated-cybersecurity-studi
> es-2.html>  program, the Robert Strauss Center at the University of
> Texas-Austin will host a unique and timely conference focused on the legal and
> policy dimensions of cybersecurity. We are proud to partner with Christian
> Science Monitor's Passcode <http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Passcode>  as our
> media partner for this event, and with the American Bar Association Standing
> Committee on Law and National Security
> <http://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_services/law_national_security.html>
> as our partner for the teacher-training workshop component on February 6th.
> The conference will begin on February 5th with a symposium bringing together
> technologists, government officials, privacy advocates, and scholars to
> discuss four cutting-edge topics: the aftermath of the ³going dark² debate;
> the evolving regulatory environment for the rapidly-growing security-research
> sector--including but not limited to export controls; the prospects for
> private entities to engage in ³active defense² of their networks--including
> but not limited to ³hackback²; and botnet takedowns.
> The conference then continues on February 6th with a unique faculty-training
> workshop co-sponsored by the American Bar Association. Each year the ABA¹s
> Standing Committee on Law and National Security
> <http://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_services/law_national_security.html>
> sponsors a training workshop focused on a particular topic relating to
> national security. This year¹s event focuses on cybersecurity law and policy,
> with sessions addressing, among other things, relevant aspects of federal
> criminal law, investigative and intelligence law, regulatory law, and
> international law.
