DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that legal advice is a Work Role that is considered part of the cybersecurity workforce? Providing cybersecurity-related legal advice and recommendations is essential to managing cybersecurity risks and responding to incidents. Someone with this role might advocate for legal and policy changes, make a case on behalf of a client, or provide legal briefs and proceedings.
