represents the culmination of a concerted effort to bring together scholars, legal practitioners, industry representatives, and government officials to discuss and debate the pressing issues surrounding cybersecurity in today’s increasingly interconnected environment.

As is the is case with cybersecurity policy, the topics vary greatly. While the article by appellate advocacy counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center, Alan Butler, addresses "the novel approach to cybersecurity policy by considering the implications of the Third Amendment of the U.S. Constitution,"  the piece by Professor Scott Shackelford, assistant professor of business law and ethics at the Indiana University Kelley School of Business, "searches for alternative avenues to foster cyberpeace by applying a novel conceptual framework termed polycentric governance."
