About This Course

Cybersecurity Regulation for Critical Infrastructure & Global Resilience is a three-day advanced workshop examining how law governs essential systems in a digitally vulnerable world. It explores regulatory failures, accountability, global coordination, and future governance, equipping participants to develop high-impact research on cyber resilience, national security, and infrastructure protection.

Workshop Objectives

Analyse the Legal Foundations of Critical Infrastructure Protection
Examine how existing cyber laws define and regulate essential systems across sectors.
Evaluate Regulatory Gaps and Systemic Risks
Identify weaknesses in traditional cyber law frameworks and emerging resilience challenges.
Understand Accountability and Liability Mechanisms
Assess how responsibility is allocated among operators, regulators, and third-party vendors.
Examine Comparative Global Regulatory Approaches
Study convergence and divergence in national cyber resilience laws and cross-border enforcement.
Explore the Intersection of Cybersecurity and National Security
Analyse the legal boundaries of emergency powers, military involvement, and sovereignty concerns.
Balance Cyber Resilience with Rights and Economic Stability
Evaluate tensions between security mandates, privacy, civil liberties, and market impact.
Develop High-Impact Research and Publication Strategies
Equip participants to frame innovative research questions and publish in leading international cyber law journals.
