While still being debated in committee hearings, if passed, Bill C-26 would empower the federal government to direct private companies in critical industries on cybersecurity matters. This article brilliantly highlights the concerns about the scope of government intervention and the potential impact on privacy rights. Indeed, legislators are struggling to ensure that the bill strikes the right balance between cybersecurity and privacy protection. With that said, what constitutes the right balance? What changes are coming in terms of IT compliance? And what industries will this affect the most?

U.S. Assistant Attorney General Matt Olsen disclosed that the DOJ has approved multiple requests to delay disclosure of material cybersecurity incidents by publicly traded companies to the SEC https://lnkd.in/eGnZARTm. He would not disclose (1) how many requests have been made, (2) how many requests have been approved, (3) the type of incidents/vulnerabilities at issue, or (4) the threat actors involved (🇷🇺🇨🇳😉). Mr. Olsen, in his capacity as the head of U.S. Department of Justice National Security Division https://lnkd.in/eMtAFisS, has been delegated the authority to approve requests. What's most surprising is that the DOJ figured out an adjudication process for national security issues based on a fill-in-the-blank form https://sec8k.ic3.gov/. Resources: - FBI Request a Delay page: https://lnkd.in/exrwyGNj - U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Delay Request Form: "To request a reporting delay, victim companies must contact the FBI directly by using the form below or through the U.S. Secret Service, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Department of Defense, or another sector risk management agency." https://sec8k.ic3.gov/ - SEC Cyber Incident Disclosure FAQ: https://lnkd.in/evGJRfZu - WSJ Article: https://lnkd.in/eNJfxiyX #SCIFLIFE

Last month, I reported that the FTC published a final rule in the fight against fraud involving governmental impersonators (https://bit.ly/3wS6hXO). Now, FINRA’s Cyber and Analytics Unit (CAU) has issued an advisory to proactively warn member firms of continuing social engineering campaigns involving fraudulent representations of individuals purporting to be FINRA representatives. In the advisory, FINRA provides that these social engineering campaigns may be reported to it by contacting the firm’s Risk Monitoring Analyst or filing a regulatory tip. Additionally, FINRA advised that when campaigns impersonating firms or associated persons are identified, firms can: 👉Report the campaigns to state and local law enforcement and regulatory agencies. 👉Notify the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) via the nearest FBI field office or by filing a complaint with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3.gov). 👉Notify the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 👉File a complaint with the hosting provider and domain name registrar to request the site be taken down. 👉Warn investors of the impersonation scam via posts to the firm’s website or direct emails. #cybersecurity, #finra, Read more in the FINRA advisory: https://lnkd.in/eNTbEWuh

kudos to the #UK #Government! (UK Civil Service) UK is applying from today a new #law that sets a #minimal information #security (#cybersecurity) #standards regarding #authentication for #consumer physical #devices, in the spirit of this project - DIAF - Default is a FAULT! (https://lnkd.in/eRrHCPzx), hence preventing too-simple and well known #passwords, to make attackers' lives harder. This is a much-needed and a first of its kind (AFAIK) law that other governments need to follow ASAP. We have so many rules to standardize #safety in products of the physical world (e.g. against risk of electric, chemicals, etc.) but not for the #digital world - we need to step up our national laws to at least match the current protection state for physical products.
