There is one thing that can be said of the cyber world- it doesn't really have heatwaves. While the world outside seems to be turning up the heat, the world of cybersecurity is trying to dial into the cold reality of privacy. The latest issues stem not only from recent court decisions, but from longstanding issues surrounding privacy and the right for a consumer to know who has access to what data, and why.
There are new federal requirements for reporting financial cybersecurity breaches, many of which are being implemented now after years of rising cyber breaches and chronic under-reporting. Will more stringent reporting make for more robust security? As far as privacy rules go, California's Consumer Privacy Act is coming up with some changes as well, many of which affect app developers in interesting ways. We can only hope that it helps out the medical device community as well, requiring a clear SBOM is just the tip of the med-tech-device-iceberg. Hold on, this privacy-laden newsletter is steering you towards the notion that cybersecurity, privacy, and the real world are all very much interconnected. Keeping one safer means looking at all three in tandem. Let's take a dive in together today.
