New master's degree provides practical approaches to policy, legal and ethical cybersecurity issues

""If you speak with policymakers and technical specialists about cybersecurity, they often speak about similar problems but use totally different languages," said Scott Shackelford, associate professor of business law and ethics at IU's Kelley School of Business and director of the Ostrom Workshop Program on Cybersecurity and Internet Governance.

"Until we start to bring them together, under the umbrella of risk management, that confusion will be another challenge adding to an already daunting problem," said Shackelford, faculty chair for the degree program. "This new degree is designed to help both aspiring and current business, information technology and legal professionals to jumpstart a broader, more informed conversation about the role of cybersecurity in organizational decision-making.""
