Upon the completion of the course, students should be able to understand the structure and system of criminal law institutes used in investigation and prosecution of cybercrime as well as to apply these institutes in regular corporate and public practice. Besides fundamental substantive and procedural institutes, the course will focus also on discovery and forensic analysis of digital evidence including issues related to protection of privacy and protection of personal data. Students should also be able to understand and apply basic preventive and regulative legal instruments in cybersecurity and to critically assess relations between national legal regulatory framework and international harmonization instruments. In addition, students should be able to practically use legal instruments related to regular practice of cybercecurity incident response teams.
