The document discusses the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) bill and compares it to previous bills like CISPA and SOPA/PIPA that were opposed by internet activist Aaron Swartz. It summarizes that CISA would allow broad information sharing between private companies and government agencies like the NSA, potentially in violation of privacy protections. It would also permit the collection of email/text content without warrants and exempt this information from transparency laws. Privacy advocates argue CISA could be used to investigate whistleblowers and represents a threat to privacy and an open internet.
GDPR Is Coming – Are Emailers Ready?
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most significant change to consumer privacy laws in decades and the enforcement date is approximately 1 month away. The standards for data collection and use in the EU will significantly differ from those in the United States. This session will breakdown the differences and discuss methods for compliance going forward.

ICANN WhoIs Backgrounder
The document summarizes ICANN's WHOIS database, which contains contact information for domain registrants. It discusses how the upcoming GDPR privacy law will require restricting public access to WHOIS data. ICANN has been unable to reach consensus on an interim solution. Options being considered include restricting WHOIS access only to law enforcement, lawyers, and those who can prove rights infringement. Security experts and journalists rely on public WHOIS data and are concerned access will be limited.
Data Privacy Introduction
This document discusses data privacy fundamentals and attacks. It begins with definitions of data privacy and the need to protect personally identifiable information. It then outlines common data privacy threats like phishing, malware, and improper access. The document also examines access control models and regulations around data protection. Overall, it provides an introduction to key concepts in data privacy and security risks to consider.
Sovereignty: the state of data
Data sovereignty and security are overlapping but distinct concepts. Data sovereignty refers to a nation asserting ownership and regulation over digital information located within its borders, while security focuses on protecting data. Different countries take varying approaches, with Europe prioritizing individual rights, and Russia and China emphasizing state control and requiring certain data to be stored locally. This lack of a unified philosophical view complicates compliance for global companies and hinders a consistent global approach to data protection.
Lily lim data privacy ownership and ethics
The document discusses data privacy, ownership, and the Internet of Things (IoT). It notes that while companies own data collected and correlations made, users have rights to control their personal data. Laws like GDPR protect personally identifiable information (PII), and breaches can result in costly class actions, clean-up costs, and fines if PII is collected without consent. The document recommends mitigating risks by following privacy- and security-by-design practices and obtaining user consent in privacy policies.

iConference 2011: Reputation in the Cloud
This document discusses reputation and privacy in the cloud. It notes that while the amount of data uploaded to the cloud is vast, people have real concerns about how their data may be used or sold. Specifically, 90% are concerned if their data is sold, 80% are concerned if their photos are used for marketing, and 68% are concerned if their data is used to target ads. The document also discusses how expectations of privacy have changed as population density has decreased online, making data feel more public. However, regulations still protect some private data, and people want control over their online reputation.

The securitization of online activism
In recent years, hacktivists have received greater attention from the media, the public and from government bodies. The distribution of classified information by hacktivists has garnered much media attention. In particular, the 2010 release of over 200,000 United States embassy cables by the whistleblower organization Wikileaks (the largest set of confidential documents ever released into the public domain) was widely publicized and severely condemned by the United States government (Al Jazeera, 2010). As their actions become both bolder and more widely acknowledged, hacktivists are being increasingly seen as a threat to national security in security-focused states such as the United States. This raises the question of how actors in the government of the United States are currently taking action to securitize hacktivism.
Cybersecurity Legal and Compliance Issues Business & IT Leaders Must Know -- ...
This presentation was delivered by Shawn E. Tuma, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Attorney, to the Joint Meeting of ISACA and IIA North Texas on January 12, 2017.
This presentation was significantly updated from past presentations and included a discussion of the groundbreaking New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) Cybersecurity Requirements for Financial Services Companies.
The main points of this presentation are:
(1) Cybersecurity events create a crisis situation and should be treated as such;
(2) Cybersecurity incidents are as much legal events as they are IT or Business / Public Relations events;
(3) Companies must have a cybersecurity breach response plan in place and tested, in advance;
(4) While consumer class action data breach litigation is a significant threat to companies and their leadership, it is not as great of a threat as regulatory enforcement by agencies such as the FTC and SEC, or the shareholder derivative claims for officer and director liability; and
(5) The odds are that all company will be breached, but preparation and diligence can help minimize the likelihood that such a breach from being a catastrophic event.
This presentation addresses the role of attorneys as the first responders in leading their clients through cybersecurity and data loss crisis events. The discussion begins by looking at the risk business have of being the victim of a cybersecurity or data loss incident and examining the nature of such incidents and the crisis environment they create. Then, because of this crisis environment, the need for leadership in helping keep the parties calm, rational, and making deliberate, calculated decisions.
The discussion then explains why cybersecurity events are legal events and legal counsel is the natural leader that should fulfill this role and how they can do so. It will then discuss the process legal counsel will take, including assembling the key players in such an event, both internally and externally. It discusses the obligations for responding to such an event, the steps that must be taken, those that must be considered, and certain factors that go into the decision-making process. It briefly addresses the costs of such an incident and the liability issues that can arise from such an incident and failing to properly respond to the incident. This section includes a discussion of the cybersecurity lawsuit landscape, cybersecurity regulatory landscape, and the issue of cybersecurity-related officer and director liability stemming from shareholder derivative lawsuits based on cybersecurity incidents.
It concludes with a discussion of the steps that companies can take to prepare for and be in a better position to respond to and mitigate the negative repercussions of such an incident.

Following the adoption of GDPR in the European Union, the United States has seen their own privacy regulatory landscape evolve and develop. Beginning in California and expanding to Nevada, Maine, and beyond, ensuing organizational and technical compliance with these stringent regulations has become a priority for many organizations. These regulations have come with additional reputational and regulatory risk (e.g. fines), increased consumer rights, and an enhanced focus on how companies use data as a commodity. This webinar will unpack the key complexities surrounding those regulations, speak to how technology advancements can assist in compliance and overall privacy program maturity, and discuss how Internal Audit can prepare for and drive a proactive approach to privacy.

The Cybersecurity Act of 2015
Congress Passes and President Signs Long-Anticipated Measure
Setting Framework for Sharing Cyber Threat Information with Federal
Government and Private Sector
SUMMARY
On December 18, 2015, President Obama signed into law the Cybersecurity Act of 2015. The Act,
arguably the most significant piece of federal cyber-related legislation enacted to date, establishes a
mechanism for cybersecurity information sharing among private-sector and federal government entities.
It also provides safe harbors from liability for private entities that share cybersecurity information in
accordance with certain procedures, and it authorizes various entities, including outside the federal
government, to monitor certain information systems and operate defensive measures for cybersecurity
purposes. The Act also contains provisions designed to bolster cybersecurity protections at federal
agencies, assess the federal government’s cybersecurity workforce, and implement a range of measures
intended to improve the cybersecurity preparedness of critical information systems and networks.
BACKGROUND
For nearly two decades, information relating to potential cyber threats has been shared through industry-
specific Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (“ISACs”), established in 1998 under the auspices of
Presidential Decision Directive 63. Despite the growth and importance of ISACs, participants and
commentators have expressed concern that perceived risks associated with information sharing—
including potential civil liability, antitrust issues, and the protection of intellectual property and other
proprietary business information—have limited the effectiveness of ISACs and other information-sharing
efforts.

The Cybersecurity Act of 2015
December 22, 2015
On February 13, 2015, President Obama signed Executive Order 13691 “to encourage and promote
sharing of cybersecurity threat information within the private sector and between the private sector and
government.” The Order encouraged the development of Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations
(“ISAOs”) and of a common set of voluntary standards for ISAOs, including privacy protections. It also
clarified the authority and operational framework of the National Cybersecurity and Communications
Integration Center (“NCCIC”), a civilian agency in the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) tasked
with coordinating the sharing of information within the federal government and with entities outside the
government. Finally, it added DHS to the list of federal agencies that approve classified information-
sharing arrangements to streamline private companies’ ability to access classified cybersecurity thre ...

Statement of Michelle Richardson, Director, Privacy & Data
Center for Democracy & Technology
before the
United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
GDPR & CCPA: Opt-ins, Consumer Control, and the Impact on Competition and Innovation
March 12, 2019
On behalf of the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), thank you for the
opportunity to testify about the importance of crafting a federal consumer privacy law that
provides meaningful protections for Americans and clarity for entities of all sizes and sectors.
CDT is a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to advancing the
rights of the individual in the digital world. CDT is committed to protecting privacy as a
fundamental human and civil right and as a necessity for securing other rights such as access to
justice, equal protection, and freedom of expression. CDT has offices in Washington, D.C., and
Brussels, and has a diverse funding portfolio from foundation grants, corporate donations, and
individual donations.1
The United States should be leading the way in protecting digital civil rights. This hearing
is an opportunity to learn how Congress can improve upon the privacy frameworks offered in
the European Union via the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California
Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to craft a comprehensive privacy law that works for the U.S. Our
digital future should be one in which technology supports human rights and human dignity. This
future cannot be realized if people are forced to choose between protecting their personal
information and using the technologies and services that enhance our lives. This future depends
on clear and meaningful rules governing data processing; rules that do not simply provide

people with notices and check boxes but actually protect them from privacy and security
abuses and data-driven discrimination; protections that cannot be signed away.
Congress should resist the narratives that innovative technologies and strong privacy
protections are fundamentally at odds, and that a privacy law would necessarily cement the
market dominance of a few large companies. Clear and focused privacy rules can help
companies of all sizes gain certainty with respect to appropriate and inappropriate uses of data.
Clear rules will also empower engineers and product managers to design for privacy on the
front end, rather than having to wait for a public privacy scandal to force the rollback of a
product or data practice.
We understand that drafting comprehensive privacy legislation is a complex endeavor.
Over the past year we have worked with partners in civil societ.

The Cybersecurity Act of 2015
Congress Passes and President Signs Long-Anticipated Measure
Setting Framework for Sharing Cyber Threat Information with Federal
Government and Private Sector
SUMMARY
On December 18, 2015, President Obama signed into law the Cybersecurity Act of 2015. The Act,
arguably the most significant piece of federal cyber-related legislation enacted to date, establishes a
mechanism for cybersecurity information sharing among private-sector and federal government entities.
It also provides safe harbors from liability for private entities that share cybersecurity information in
accordance with certain procedures, and it authorizes various entities, including outside the federal
government, to monitor certain information systems and operate defensive measures for cybersecurity
purposes. The Act also contains provisions designed to bolster cybersecurity protections at federal
agencies, assess the federal government’s cybersecurity workforce, and implement a range of measures
intended to improve the cybersecurity preparedness of critical information systems and networks.
BACKGROUND
For nearly two decades, information relating to potential cyber threats has been shared through industry-
specific Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (“ISACs”), established in 1998 under the auspices of
Presidential Decision Directive 63. Despite the growth and importance of ISACs, participants and
commentators have expressed concern that perceived risks associated with information sharing—
including potential civil liability, antitrust issues, and the protection of intellectual property and other
proprietary business information—have limited the effectiveness of ISACs and other information-sharing
efforts.

The Cybersecurity Act of 2015
December 22, 2015
On February 13, 2015, President Obama signed Executive Order 13691 “to encourage and promote
sharing of cybersecurity threat information within the private sector and between the private sector and
government.” The Order encouraged the development of Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations
(“ISAOs”) and of a common set of voluntary standards for ISAOs, including privacy protections. It also
clarified the authority and operational framework of the National Cybersecurity and Communications
Integration Center (“NCCIC”), a civilian agency in the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) tasked
with coordinating the sharing of information within the federal government and with entities outside the
government. Finally, it added DHS to the list of federal agencies that approve classified information-
sharing arrangements to streamline private companies’ ability to access classified cybersecurity thre ...

United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
GDPR & CCPA: Opt-ins, Consumer Control, and the Impact on Competition and Innovation
March 12, 2019
On behalf of the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), thank you for the
opportunity to testify about the importance of crafting a federal consumer privacy law that
provides meaningful protections for Americans and clarity for entities of all sizes and sectors.
CDT is a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to advancing the
rights of the individual in the digital world. CDT is committed to protecting privacy as a
fundamental human and civil right and as a necessity for securing other rights such as access to
justice, equal protection, and freedom of expression. CDT has offices in Washington, D.C., and
Brussels, and has a diverse funding portfolio from foundation grants, corporate donations, and
individual donations.1
The United States should be leading the way in protecting digital civil rights. This hearing
is an opportunity to learn how Congress can improve upon the privacy frameworks offered in
the European Union via the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California
Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to craft a comprehensive privacy law that works for the U.S. Our
digital future should be one in which technology supports human rights and human dignity. This
future cannot be realized if people are forced to choose between protecting their personal
information and using the technologies and services that enhance our lives. This future depends
on clear and meaningful rules governing data processing; rules that do not simply provide

people with notices and check boxes but actually protect them from privacy and security
abuses and data-driven discrimination; protections that cannot be signed away.
Congress should resist the narratives that innovative technologies and strong privacy
protections are fundamentally at odds, and that a privacy law would necessarily cement the
market dominance of a few large companies. Clear and focused privacy rules can help
companies of all sizes gain certainty with respect to appropriate and inappropriate uses of data.
Clear rules will also empower engineers and product managers to design for privacy on the
front end, rather than having to wait for a public privacy scandal to force the rollback of a
product or data practice.
We understand that drafting comprehensive privacy legislation is a complex endeavor.
Over the past year we have worked with partners in civil societ.

Great Issues Reflective Essay CybersecurityLI
Cybersecurity is a major issue of the 21st century due to increased internet usage and the ability of hackers to steal private information. There are debates around balancing security and liberty in approaches to cybersecurity. Laws have difficulties in cyberspace which lacks geographic boundaries, suggesting a natural law approach may be better. The internet also changes human relationships and challenges traditional concepts of jurisdiction. As the internet economy grows, cybercrime opportunities increase, emphasizing the importance of improving cybersecurity.
Cyber law and cyber-crime
Issues with respect to the proper ownership and jurisdiction of information contained on the internet have set the stage for an ongoing legal debate over Cyber-Law and its impact on Cyber-Crime.
Enhanced Global Cyber-Security and proposed governing regulations are not a luxury, but a necessity, for today’s business and government entities which operate in real time environments.
Cyber-Law and Cyber-Crime
This document discusses cyber law and its impact on cyber crime. It notes that while cyber crimes are increasing globally and costing businesses trillions, the laws governing cyber space have not kept pace with the growth of the internet. There is still a huge challenge to develop comprehensive international regulations and laws to address coordinated cyber attacks across borders. It argues that some structure around jurisdiction, privacy, commerce and other issues is needed to help curb cyber crime, but that regulating the internet is complex given its global, boundary-less nature. Enhanced international cooperation around cyber law enforcement is important for addressing cyber threats.

Open Letter to President Obama Opposing Backdoors and Defective Encryption
Dear President Obama,
We the undersigned represent a wide variety of civil society organizations dedicated to protecting civil liberties, human rights, and innovation online, as well as technology companies, trade associations, and security and policy experts. We are writing today to respond to recent statements by some Administration officials regarding the deployment of strong encryption technology in the devices and services offered by the U.S. technology industry. Those officials have suggested that American companies should refrain from providing any products that are secured by encryption, unless those companies also weaken their security in order to maintain the capability to decrypt their customers’ data at the government’s request. Some officials have gone so far as to suggest that Congress should act to ban such products or mandate such capabilities
We urge you to reject any proposal that U.S. companies deliberately weaken the security of their products. We request that the White House instead focus on developing policies that will promote rather than undermine the wide adoption of strong encryption technology. Such policies will in turn help to promote and protect cybersecurity, economic growth, and human rights, both here and abroad.
Strong encryption is the cornerstone of the modern information economy’s security. Encryption protects billions of people every day against countless threats—be they street criminals trying to steal our phones and laptops, computer criminals trying to defraud us, corporate spies trying to obtain our companies’ most valuable trade secrets, repressive governments trying to stifle dissent, or foreign intelligence agencies trying to compromise our and our allies’ most sensitive national security secrets.
Encryption thereby protects us from innumerable criminal and national security threats. This protection would be undermined by the mandatory insertion of any new vulnerabilities into encrypted devices and services. Whether you call them “front doors” or “back doors”, introducing intentional vulnerabilities into secure products for the government’s use will make those products less secure against other attackers. Every computer security expert that has spoken publicly on this issue agrees on this point, including the government’s own experts.
In addition to undermining cybersecurity, any kind of vulnerability mandate would also seriously undermine our economic security. U.S. companies are already struggling to maintain international trust in the wake of revelations about the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs. Introducing mandatory vulnerabilities into American products would further push many customers—be they domestic or international, 2 individual or institutional—to turn away from those compromised products and services. Instead, they—and many of the bad actors whose behavior the government is hoping to impact—will simply rely on encrypted of
Don't Panic. Making Progress on the 'Going Dark' Debate
The document summarizes a report by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University on the debate around government access to encrypted communications and data. The report finds that while encryption technologies are making some surveillance more difficult, communications will neither be completely obscured nor fully transparent. End-to-end encryption is unlikely to be adopted ubiquitously as companies rely on access to user data. Metadata and data from networked devices may enable alternative forms of surveillance. The trends raise novel privacy and security challenges as today's debate does not consider the full technological landscape.

Privacy reconsidered
Privacy is a complex concept that is impacted by new technologies. While many are concerned about online privacy and data collection, anonymity on the internet allows for important anonymous speech. However, anonymous online spaces are also used for harassment and illegal activities. An ethical approach to privacy involves balancing openness with appropriate limits, through principles like "privacy by design" and laws that protect both privacy and security. Anonymous platforms have enabled important political speech but are also threatened by calls for increased monitoring.
An Unmanned Aircraft System ( Uas )
The document discusses drone surveillance at Kansas State University football games. It notes that over 50,000 fans attend games, making it difficult for law enforcement to monitor everything. Drones could help by providing aerial surveillance to spot issues like medical emergencies or criminal activity. However, drone surveillance also raises privacy concerns due to their ability to record details and identify individuals. The document examines both the potential benefits of drone surveillance for public safety as well as the privacy issues it presents.

Accessing Password Protected and/or Encrypted Mobile Data
Abstract- This research paper examines the potential solution to a problem faced by law enforcement; wherein the inability to decrypt a number of encrypted communications that they have been given appropriate legal permission to intercept or examine, loom large. This research paper utilizes a theoretical approach to explore the ‘going dark’ concern. This paper will also provide an overview of an encryption workaround, which will address the widely used “Signal Messaging Protocol” which is used to encrypt messages transmitted via applications such as Whatsapp, Telegram, Facebook, among others.
Keywords—Signal Messaging Protocol, Encrypted Messaging, Privacy, Law Enforcement, Mobile Phones, WhatsAppI. Introduction
As the use of digital mobile devices continues to become more ubiquitous, so too does the use of strong encryption protocols, which are being made available to users by communication application providers. In an effort to provide even more security to users, those same application providers are developing the encryption protocols in such a way that the providers themselves are not even able to decrypt the private messages. These trends are posing an ever-increasing challenge to law enforcement agencies who are often able to obtain the legal authority necessary to intercept or retrieve certain communication dataonly to find that they are unable to decrypt and view that same data. The FBI has labeled this issue as the “Going Dark” problem.
The “Going Dark” problem often has adverse effects on law enforcement’s ability to investigate all kinds of crimes; such as kidnappings, child pornography, violent gang activity, etc. However, the gravest consequential examples of this problem have arisen through terrorist investigations, wherein the stakes are extremely high.
Agencies charged with combating terrorism, such as the FBI, quietly face this obstacle every day. In December 2015, the public was given an inside view of this dilemma, during the aftermath of the San Bernardino, California, terrorist attack. Following the attack, the FBI recovered a passcode locked iPhone 5, which had belonged to one of the shooters. The passcode function keeps the encased data encrypted until the correct passcode is entered. If the wrong passcode is entered more than ten times, the data is automatically permanently wiped from the device. In response, the FBI obtained a court order directing Apple to assist them in developing software to unlock the phone. Apple refused, which set off a fierce public outcry, and a subsequent legal battle. The standoff was ultimately diffused when the FBI was able to find a third party to crack the four-digit passcode.
As a result of that legal dispute between the Department of Justice and Apple not having being resolved in court, the debate continued over the question: should the government be able to legally force private vendors to create decryption keys for law .

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Open Letter From EFF Opposing CISPA
- 1. March 11, 2013 Dear Representative: We the undersigned organizations write in opposition to H.R. 624, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2013 (CISPA). We are gravely concerned that this bill will allow companies that hold very sensitive and personal information to liberally share it with the government, which could then use the information without meaningful oversight for purposes unrelated to cybersecurity. CISPA creates an exception to all privacy laws to permit companies to share our information with each other and with the government in the name of cybersecurity. Although a carefully-‐crafted information sharing program that strictly limits the information to be shared and includes robust privacy safeguards could be an effective approach to cybersecurity, CISPA lacks such protections for individual rights. CISPA’s information sharing regime allows the transfer of vast amounts of data, including sensitive information like internet records or the content of emails, to any agency in the government including military and intelligence agencies like the National Security Agency or the Department of Defense Cyber Command. Once in government hands, this information can be used for undefined ‘national security’ purposes unrelated to cybersecurity. Developments over the last year make CISPA’s approach even more questionable than before. First, the President recently signed Executive Order 13636, which will increase information sharing from the government to the private sector. Information sharing in this direction is often cited as a substantial justification for CISPA and will proceed without legislation. Second, the cybersecurity legislation the Senate considered last year, S. 3414, included privacy protections for information sharing that are entirely absent from CISPA, and the Obama administration, including the intelligence community, has
- 2. confirmed that those protections would not inhibit cybersecurity programs. These included provisions to ensure that private companies send cyber threat information only to civilian agencies, and stricter limits on how this information may be used. Finally, witnesses at a hearing before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence confirmed only weeks ago that companies can strip out personally identifiably information that is not necessary to address cyber threats, and CISPA omits any requirement that reasonable efforts be undertaken to do so. We continue to oppose CISPA and encourage you to vote ‘no.’ Fundamental changes to this bill are required to address the many civil liberties problems.
