Abstract: |
Governments globally are flooding industry with cybersecurity regulations. These regulations are intended to improve the security and resilience of digital products and services. Unfortunately they establish ambitious (aka impossible) legal obligations without existing guidance (technical, standards, definitions, or implementation mechanisms) to meet them. This has created an issue with what regulations require and organizations ability to meet requirements or the expectations for what is required for a company to demonstrate compliance. This raises the question of why and how is this happening? This session will discuss the historical regulations where technical expertise was able to be applied and some where the technical facts and capabilities were ignored. Examples will include US, European, and PacRim. |
