Welcome!

Welcome to Cyber Conflict Legal and Policy Conference 2009!

This Legal and Policy Conference, organised jointly by the Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCD COE) and the George Mason University Center for Infrastructure Protection, will bring together an international community of experts in government, private sector, and academia to discuss a multidisciplinary approach to cyber conflict management, as well as to share current initiatives and best practices. The conference will take place in Tallinn, Estonia on September 9 to 11, 2009.

The aim of the conference is to develop tools and recommendations for some of the numerous legal and policy challenges in the field as well as promote closer collaboration among the international stakeholders of both the public and private sectors. The conference will address complications resulting from the different priorities and multiple lexicons of cyber incident management (technology, law enforcement, government policy/leadership, military, business, etc.), and will survey the different imperatives of various nations as well as international organisations regarding cyber security and cyber defence.

We look forward to seeing you in Tallinn,
