The document discusses security vulnerability assessments (SVAs), their importance, history of related legislation, and liability issues. An SVA identifies threats, critical assets, recommendations, and costs. Without an SVA, an organization does not know its threat level, vulnerabilities, or appropriate security improvements. Federal agencies now require SVAs for many critical infrastructures. Properly addressing SVA findings can reduce liability, while ignoring issues could result in negligence claims if an incident occurs. Developing sound security design criteria is important to guide improvements and avoid legal issues.

Many facilities implement new security systems based on vulnerability assessment recommendations but fail to establish proper security design criteria. This can lead to systems that do not adequately address threats, are improperly designed or integrated, and increase legal liability. It is important to justify security system design through industry-standard criteria to demonstrate the level of protection is appropriate given identified threats and avoid potential negligence claims. Facilities should review existing systems and establish sound design criteria that brings their security in line with industry best practices.

Critical infrastructure
Critical infrastructure refers to assets and systems that are essential to society's functioning. This includes sectors like water, energy, food, health, transport, communications, finance, government, and emergency services. Critical infrastructure is vulnerable to natural disasters, technological failures, terrorism, and other hazards. Protecting critical infrastructure involves assessing risks, prioritizing vulnerabilities, implementing protection programs, and continuously improving resilience through measures like redundant systems and emergency planning. The level of protection and regulation can vary along a continuum from market forces to government ownership.
Adequate securitynew1404.019
There are many factors that determine an adequate level of security for a facility, including the threat level, legal compliance, accepted industry standards, environment, incident history, liability, facility type, insurance requirements, and risk acceptance. More important factors are the threat level, liability, facility type, and legal compliance. A security vulnerability assessment can also help determine security needs by evaluating threats, critical assets, and making recommendations.

Complacency in the Face of Evolving Cybersecurity Norms is Hazardous
Complacency in the face of evolving cybersecurity norms is hazardous. Executives and boards are often reluctant to adopt comprehensive cybersecurity policies due to costs and contradictory advice. However, failing to take action increases regulatory and legal risks. Cyberattacks are difficult to defend against and are becoming more sophisticated. Small and medium enterprises are particularly vulnerable targets but may underestimate threats due to limited resources. Government efforts to work with businesses on cybersecurity have been inconsistent, creating uncertainty around compliance. Cyberbreaches can result in significant litigation and liability for companies, especially as legal standards continue developing. Comprehensive and strategic planning is needed to address diverse cyberattack risks.
Regulatory Nets vs the Fishing Hook of Litigation - BSides Las Vegas 2017
What sort of legal and policy choices would lead to more secure and safer software and computing-enabled devices?
