LEG523: OnDemand
Provided by SANS
What You Will Learn
This course covers the law of crime, policy, contracts, liability, compliance, cybersecurity, and active defense - all with a focus on electronically stored and transmitted records. It also teaches investigators how to prepare credible, defensible reports, whether for cyber crimes, forensics, incident response, human resource issues, or other investigations.
"It's an excellent course outlining the emerging legal and security issues to be considered." - Nuran Bekiroska, UPS
The Global Information Assurance Certification (GLEG) associated with LEG523 demonstrates to employers that you have absorbed the sophisticated content of this course and are ready to put it to use. This coveted GIAC certification distinguishes any professional - whether a cybersecurity specialist, auditor, lawyer, or forensics expert - from the rest of the pack. It also strengthens the credibility of forensics investigators as witnesses in court and can help a forensics consultant win more business. And the value of the certification will only grow in the years to come as law and security issues become even more interconnected.
The course also provides training and continuing education for many compliance programs under information security and privacy mandates such as GLBA, HIPAA, FISMA, GDPR, and PCI-DSS.
Each successive day of this five-day course builds upon lessons from the earlier days in order to comprehensively strengthen your ability to help your public or private sector enterprise cope with illegal hackers, botnets, malware, phishing, unruly vendors, data leakage, industrial spies, rogue or uncooperative employees, or bad publicity connected with cybersecurity. We cover topical stories, such as Home Depot's legal and public statements about payment card breach and lawsuits against QSA security vendor Trustwave filed by cyber insurance companies and credit card issuers (third parties with which Trustwave had no relationship!).
Recent updates to the course address hot topics such as legal tips on confiscating and interrogating mobile devices, the retention of business records connected with cloud computing and social networks like Facebook and Twitter, and analysis, response to the risks and opportunities surrounding open-source intelligence gathering and the arrest and criminal indictment of two Coalfire penetration testers in Iowa.
Over the years this course has adopted an increasingly global perspective. Professionals from outside the United States attend LEG523 because there is no training like it anywhere else in the world. For example, a lawyer from the national tax authority in an African country took the course because electronic filings, evidence, and investigations have become so important to her work. International students help the instructor, U.S. attorney Benjamin Wright, constantly revise the course and include more content that crosses borders.
Recently Mr. Wright taught LEG523 in Singapore to a classroom of students representing numerous countries, diverse organizations and many different professions. The students gave the course high marks because it teaches generic, timeless lessons applicable around the world.
One thing that sets this course apart is its emphasis on ethics. The course teaches practical lessons on ethical performace by cyber defenders and digital investigators.
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO:
This course is an intensive legal education experience, supported with extensive written notes and citations. Lawyers from all over the world take the course. It is developed and taught by an experienced lawyer, Benjamin Wright, who is a member of the Texas Bar Association.
American lawyers have applied for and received participatory continuing legal education credit for attending the in-person version of the course. Obtaining such credit depends on the rules of your state or jurisdiction.
Update: In 2017, LEG523 was accredited under the Colorado Bar Association. Some states will grant credit based on reciprocity from another state like Colorado.
Update: In December 2018, LEG523 was accredited by the Missouri Bar Association.
Update: Many lawyers have successfully applied for Continuing Legal Education credit from their licensing authorities for taking LEG523 (Live and OnDemand). In fact, Ben is not aware of a lawyer who has been denied credit. 2022, a California lawyer shared with Ben a letter from the California Bar Association granting 25 hours of credit (maximum permitted in California). This letter can help lawyers in California and elsewhere get credit. Often, one authority will give credit for a course if another authority has given credit. Lawyers outside California have received more than 25 hours of credit for LEG523
