Some have commented that it is better than nothing,\u00a0<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">.<\/span><span class=\"rte rte-comment\">\u00a0 That is hardly a ringing endorsement.\u00a0 W<\/span>while others feel it is a well-struck balance between the nation\u2019s need for cyber intelligence and defense, and privacy. One recent posting referred to the bill as the worst anti-privacy bill since the PATRIOT Act was signed into law on Oct.<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">ober<\/span> 26, 2001 by President George W. Bush.\u00a0Perhaps the best comment about the bill\u2019s passage was cast in the context of Star Wars.\u00a0At a conference one individual artfully asked, &#8220;When will the force awaken?&#8221;\u00a0 Talk about politically correct: <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">\u2013 y<\/span>You can take that comment as pro or con when looking at the passage of the cybersecurity bill.\u00a0Clearly, that individual has a bright future in politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"rte rte-comment\">Cyber Security Biggest Board Issue &#8211;\u00a0 In a recent online poll conducted by a management consulting firm, 42 percent of those that responded stated that in 2016 cyber security was the top issue for the Board of Directors.<\/span>Cybersecurity will also be a top priority for boards of directors, according to 42 percent of respondents to a recent online poll conducted by a management consulting firm.\u00a0<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">The cyber threat environment continues to grow virtually uncontrolled.\u00a0<\/span>As I previously discussed, corporate losses are mounting due to theft of sensitive, confidential and proprietary information.\u00a0Two recent court rulings have laid the foundation to increase the overall costs to many companies.\u00a0One allows banks and credit card companies to recover costs from the source of <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">a <\/span>data breaches.\u00a0The second allows individuals who<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> that<\/span> had their data stolen to get compensation for all the work they do to protect themselves from identity theft or for<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> in<\/span> their efforts to clean up their identity and finances after their identity has been stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, anything to do with the legal aspects of cyber is highly controversial, and both of these topics <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">certainly <\/span>fit that category<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> for sure<\/span>.\u00a0What has become so interesting is the amount of legal interaction that senior level cybersecurity professionals are experiencing.\u00a0<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">One has to wonder, what we will see next in the legal aspects of cyber. As it stands with compliance requirements, new legal aspects associated with data breaches and privacy laws has gotten to the point where a fair portion of the chief information security officer\u2019s (CISO) time is spent addressing these complex regulatory and legal demands.<\/span>\u00a0A fair portion of a chief information security officer&#8217;s time is spent addressing data breach and privacy law compliance requirements. One individual recently commented that these aspects have gotten so bad that the CISO now needs to have a law degree.\u00a0We wouldn\u2019t put the commanding general involved in a heated battle in this place, so why are we putting the CISO?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somehow we need to find a way to reduce the demands on the CISO\u2019s time due to legal and regulatory demands.\u00a0When I addressed this issue, one CISO said, &#8220;Yeah, good luck<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> \u2013 Good Luck<\/span>,&#8221; but\u00a0<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">Obviously<\/span><span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> he does not hold much hope of that happening.\u00a0 <\/span><span class=\"rte rte-comment\">W<\/span>what he followed up with shocked me. He \u00a0said in many cyber-related instances\u00a0in-house legal staff are not equipped to handle these complex regulatory\/legal issues.\u00a0They have to <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">go outside the firm and <\/span>seek outside specialists<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> in this aspect of the legal and regulatory environments<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now consider this issue in the military and intelligence environment:\u00a0It is far more complicated and time-consuming for those on the cyber front lines and the decision-makers who<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> that<\/span> support them.\u00a0With things moving as fast as they do when a cyberattack occurs, this is unacceptable.\u00a0Just think about how much more damage <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">that <\/span>could be done during <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">when <\/span>a 5-minute delay<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> occurs<\/span>. <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">So w<\/span>We are impeded from rapid response.\u00a0Our adversaries are not impaired in this way.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the government and companies try to strengthen their cyber postures,
