As a country, do we “get” cyber policy? Or are we living in a generally-lawless cyber world?
The US is a country bound by laws: there’s no question about that—the country is driven by legislation and policy.

Sometimes policies are set in advance of a situation—many times, laws are put into action in response to a situation or event.

Sometimes they are enacted at the federal level—sometimes state and local governments lead the charge.

Sometimes the US leads globally in policy innovation—sometimes the US takes a back seat and follows other counties.

In all cases, the US citizens rely upon the policymakers to have a good understanding of the situation, the technical elements within it, and the impact a law will have on society—both directly and indirectly—and in both directions.

How do you think this is going from a cyber policy perspective? Are we on target with security and privacy policies and laws? Is it different at the state and federal levels? Are the rules clear to those responsible for abiding by them? Are they meeting the intended outcome?

Today’s guests will give us a view into all of this, and much, much more as we discuss the current and future state of cybersecurity and privacy policy in the US.

What do you think? Are we functioning in a world where the rules are clear? Have a listen and let us know.
