Georgia Senate Bill 315 and the Future

hosted by Mark Baggett (@MarkBaggett) – Georgia Senate Bill 315 and the Future This year Georgia’s proposed cyber law SB-315 passed the state legislature with wide support before being vetoed by the Governor. The proposed legislation was only 43 lines in length but was widely regarded as bad legislation that criminalized many activities in the cyber community. Today the state of Georgia has no state laws prohibiting hacking. With a new governor taking office this year our legislators are sure to reintroduce similar legislature in next years session. This panel of infosec practitioners, law enforcement, Georgia state legislators and legal experts will discuss the need for legislation, the issues created by SB-315 and how to reconcile the two.
