Cybersecurity & Data Protection

The Role of Law in Cybersecurity & Data Protection

In an increasingly digitalized world, cybersecurity and data protection have become fundamental to ensuring trust, privacy, and the integrity of digital infrastructures. As cyber threats grow in complexity and data-driven technologies continue to evolve, legal frameworks play a crucial role in establishing safeguards, defining responsibilities, and ensuring accountability.

Laws and regulations provide the foundation for securing networks, protecting personal data, and balancing security with fundamental rights such as privacy and freedom of expression. However, rapid technological advancements and emerging threats present ongoing challenges for policymakers and legal professionals.

The Amsterdam Law Forum offers a platform for legal scholars, practitioners, and students to critically engage with these evolving issues. We welcome contributions that analyze case law, policy developments, ethical dilemmas, and regulatory frameworks shaping the future of Cybersecurity & Data Protection.

This blog explores the legal   landscape of cryptocurrencies in the EU, the key provisions of MiCA, and its implications for innovation, fraud prevention, and financial stability.
