I’m very pleased to tell you that today’s post is by Ben Kastan, Duke Law Class of 2012, whose career as a cyber lawyer has enjoyed enormous success as he is now the Associate General Counsel for Cybersecurity at the National Security Agency. What Ben shares with us is invaluable. He explains what a “cyber lawyer” actually does in the real world, both in government and in the private sector. He also talks about his own journey, and provides aspiring cyber lawyers with very practical advice.
