About this course:

The UCLA Extension and GCI Cyber Certificate Program for Lawyers focuses on providing lawyers with the necessary insight and tools to shape cyber corporate strategy for their respective firms. Participants emerge as legal experts in cyber law, essential for the security and accountability for every type of legal practice. The program provides lawyers with the fundamental concepts of cybersecurity and its application to governance, risk management, insurance, and incident response. Concepts, practices, legal requirements, and case studies are presented from the viewpoint of a lawyer and drawn from examples of cybersecurity designs, plans, incident responses, insurance policies and procedures that were effective and ineffective in countering potential threats and actual attacks. Lawyers will learn how to explain to all levels of management, including both technical and non-technical executive leadership, why cybersecurity must be a priority.
