The Law and Economics of Cybersecurity

This book presents the contributions to a CIPP-sponsored conference which was held at George Mason University on June 11, 2004. At this conference, several of the papers contained in this volume were originally presented. Expanded and updated, this edition brings together the views of leading law and economics scholars on the nature of the cybersecurity problem and possible solutions to it. Many of these solutions are market based, but they need some help, either from government or industry groups, or both. Indeed, the cybersecurity problem prefigures a host of 21st-century problems created by information technology and the globalization of markets.
