Episode 20: Intellectual Property and Licensing Laws

Cybersecurity professionals must understand how to protect not only data but also intellectual property. This episode unpacks the key types of intellectual property—copyrights, trademarks, patents, and trade secrets—and how they apply in the digital world. We also examine licensing models for software and content, including open-source and proprietary agreements. Understanding the legal landscape helps prevent accidental infringement and supports secure software procurement, asset management, and contract design. CISSPs are often called upon to advise on or enforce policies around intellectual property and licensing compliance.
