The legal landscape of information security

"Some lawyers thrive on change and evo­lu­tion, according to new North­eastern Uni­ver­sity School of Law pro­fessor Andrea Matwyshyn.

She is a prime example, devoting her legal career to what she describes as one of the most fluid fields of the past 15 years: infor­ma­tion security.

“Infor­ma­tion tech­nology inno­va­tion and secu­rity are clearly the most pressing issues of our time with regard to mar­kets and national secu­rity,” says Matwyshyn, who joined the law school’s fac­ulty this summer.

This fall she is teaching a course ded­i­cated to the evo­lu­tion of Internet law, with a par­tic­ular focus on intel­lec­tual prop­erty, con­tracts, pri­vacy, and secu­rity. She’s also teaching a sem­inar on infor­ma­tion secu­rity, which spot­lights the emerging debate in Wash­ington between secu­rity research and policy."
