SYNOPSIS

The proliferation of online services and unrelenting pace of global internet connectivity has made cyber security a pressing concern for both the private and public sector. This module surveys the key cyber-attack trends and outlines some of the key legal and strategic considerations in responding and mitigating such attacks.

This module is part of Primer Series: Leading Issues in Law & Technology.

Developments in AI, blockchain, crypto-currencies, smart contracts and other emerging technologies have far-reaching implications for legal professionals in various areas of practice. As the Singapore Judiciary has emphasised, it is crucial for legal professionals to stay abreast of the latest developments in this regard.

This primer series provides legal professionals with a one-stop avenue to acquire updated knowhow about key legal and regulatory issues surrounding the use of AI, blockchain, smart contracts and other emerging technologies. Taught by leading experts in their respective fields, participants will be equipped with a nuanced appreciation of the practical legal and regulatory issues that have and are likely to arise. Instructors will peel away the jargon to demystify the underlying technology, so that participants can gain insights into the available strategies that they and their clients can embrace in response to, or anticipation of, technology adoption and innovation.

The primer series comprises the following 5 modules. Participants can pick and choose which module(s) to attend.
