Over the last 15 years, cyber security has become a critical national security and corporate security issue. Examples include hackings of the Pentagon, SONY, Target, JPMorgan Chase, Home Depot, and various universities and hospitals. A lively debate is now raging in Congress, academia, and in the corporate world over what steps should be taken. Attorneys are at the forefront of the problem in advising clients and securing confidential information. The 2016
Chapman Law Review
 symposium seeks to advance the discussion of cybersecurity in three ways: (1) by expanding the discussion on the U.S. government’s regulation of the cyber sphere; (2) by expanding the debate on the recent corporate hackings and what can be done to prevent future hackings from occurring; and (3) by expanding the dialogue on the attorney’s changing ethical roles in an increasingly cyber world.
