Cyber regulation is the set of rules that protect digital systems, safeguard privacy, and encourage innovation in a world that is always connected.

At our center, Prof. Tal Zarsky explores new ways for managing cybersecurity. In his and Mark Verstraete’s article “Cybersecurity Spillovers,” he shows how security measures in the cloud can benefit not only the company that buys them, but also the many others that use them, creating positive effects that regulators should take into account.

Prof. Eldar Haber, together with Prof. Tal Zarsky, offers another important contribution in their article “Cybersecurity for Infrastructure: A Critical Analysis.” They explain the weaknesses of today’s limited regulation of critical infrastructure and suggest a balanced model that avoids both a hands-off approach and heavy government control.

Together, their work highlights how smart regulation can improve security while still supporting growth and innovation in the digital economy.
