Who is amending their data security recommendations? Cyberspace Solarium Commission

What is the Cyberspace Solarium Commission? A bicameral, bipartisan organization with co-chairs, Senator Angus King (I-Maine) and Representative Mike Gallagher (R-Wisconsin). Its 14 Commissioners include 4 legislators, 4 senior executive agency leaders, and 6 nationally recognized experts from outside of government

What are the new COVID recommendations ?

• Pass an IoT law: The law would subject IoT devices to “reasonable security measures” and compliant with basic security protocols
  • Think about medical devices that can be hacked
  • IoT= internet of things (connected devices from lamps to pace makers)
• Collaborate with trusted nonprofits that are capable of and flexible enough to disrupt cybercrime
• Establish the Social Media Data and Threat Analysis Center
• Increase nongovernmental ability to find and defense against foreign misinformation campaigns
