[Martin A Walls]

"What will be the enduring image of the cyber era? A darkened city whose electric grid has failed? Or cyber criminals led off to jail? Only time will tell. We are, however, convinced we stand at the crossroads—the decisions we make today will determine the defining images of tomorrow."—American Bar Association

This fall, the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism at Syracuse University is offering Cybersecurity Law and Policy Online, a six-week course for mid-career professionals concerned with information assurance, safe harbor, IT risk, and other cybersecurity topics.

This course is a chance for infosec professionals to join a critical national dialog as it unfolds in real time, to learn about tools at the disposal of those protecting US cyberspace, and to earn a valuable professional credential from one of the nation's top national security institutes.

The course runs from Sept. 23 to Nov. 10, 2013. The application deadline is Sept. 16. For more information, and to apply, visit http://insct.syr.edu/academicprograms/cybersecurityonlinecourse/

  *   Live discussion and asynchronous instruction.
  *   An online discussion board to share ideas and network with fellow participants.
  *   A learning environment fully supported by professional tech staff.
  *   One-on-one interaction with the professor.
