Extracts from the Forewords

One of the notable strengths of this book lies in its interdisciplinary approach. Law cannot effectively regulate technological systems without a clear understanding of the technological environment in which those systems operate. By combining legal analysis with technological awareness, the authors provide readers with a holistic understanding of both the challenges and the possibilities inherent in cybersecurity governance.
