Cyber Security Bitcoin and Money Laundering

Information Learned

One of the biggest ways the information learned in Cybersecurity Law and Policy will be applied to my life and work to increase my future career success in FIN TECH is simply in being able to use the understanding of laws and regulations. I am especially interested in applying this understanding to the realm of cryptocurrency, decentralized finance, and anti-money laundering activities. I would like to focus my career on the latter, but due to the rise and popularity of the former, I believe there will be a great deal of overlap, and I am interested in learning even more about it in the coming years.

Banking regulation will always be a part of that environment as well, but there is a great deal of mistrust in the public about centralized finance, which I think is part of the reason for the rise of Bitcoin and altcoins. Understanding these as assets or securities and how they work or may be vulnerable to attack or manipulation all goes into my overall aim to be successful in the field.

The SEC is clearly changing its course with respect to crypto, with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs having been approve. Privacy and data protection are going to be very important going forward for many people, but regulatory agencies are demanding more transparency in the crypto space. This means there will be a lot of work for people interested in monitoring for money laundering and using the skills and understanding that they derive from courses like this one on law and policy.
