Cybersecurity Law by Jeff Kosseff offers a comprehensive guide to understanding the complex legal landscape surrounding cybersecurity. Drawing from the author’s extensive experience as both a cybersecurity lawyer and law professor, this book delves into U.S. and international laws relevant to data security, breaches, privacy concerns, and more. Written in an accessible style, it includes real-world examples and case studies to illustrate practical applications.

The book begins by laying out the legal framework for data security, synthesizing key Federal Trade Commission (FTC) cases to provide context on how the FTC views data protection. It further explores the evolving requirements set by state legislatures and private litigation in response to data breaches. Kosseff examines anti-hacking laws such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, Economic Espionage Act, and Digital Millennium Copyright Act, detailing how companies can combat cybercriminals while adhering to U.S. constitutional and statutory obligations.

Additionally, Cybersecurity Law discusses the mechanisms for collaboration between public and private sectors, along with regulatory tools designed to facilitate limited cooperation in addressing cybersecurity challenges. This makes it an invaluable resource for professionals, students, and anyone interested in navigating the legal aspects of modern cybersecurity practices.
