20+ Federal Government Agencies’ Standards for Cyber Security
- By : Cbh
- Category : Data Breach
In light of the rulings in FTC v Wyndham and In Re TerraCom and YourTel, it is evident that government agencies are taking the position that they can pursue “common law” cyber security negligence claims rather than relying on standards set by regulation or statute. At least some of these standards seem to be created by the government agencies in the form of statements, rulings, and various publications/guidelines.
In prior posts, we’ve been trying to identify the relevant agency publications on cyber security standards.
