Bipartisan Lawmakers Work Toward Disclosure Bill for Cybersecurity Breaches

As a result of recent cybersecurity breaches, a group of bipartisan lawmakers has been announced. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) and Sen. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.) are working on legislation that will require companies to notify the federal government in the event of a security breach. Futurum’s Shelly Kramer explores the need for the bill, especially in light of the SolarWinds and Microsoft Exchange Server hacks, the extent of the damage from which will remain unknown for some time. This proposed legislation makes sense — hopefully, this time around it will make it into law.

Cybersecurity, Confidential Computing, and What’s Ahead – Futurum Tech Webcast

In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Futurum’s Shelly Kramer and Daniel Newman tackle the thorny topic of cybersecurity and the fact that security breaches are frequent, inevitable, expensive, and risky. Security has been a foundational layer within IT since the beginning of time, but it’s clear that it’s not working. There are many factors that contribute to this, and there are some nascent technology solutions, like Confidential Computing, that we think are going to play an important role in the not too distant future. This is one of a series of conversations we’ll have on this topic, and we’ve got a soon-to-publish research paper on the topic of Confidential Computing that you won’t want to miss.

In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, host Shelly Kramer is joined by fellow analyst Fred McClimans for a conversation about some important cybersecurity news of the week that might’ve gotten lost as a result of horrible storms, power grid troubles, and lots of cold friends and colleagues. Their conversation focused on Clubhouse, the current darling of social apps Clubhouse and that fact that it’s powered by Agora, a Chinese-based company. Are their cybersecurity concerns there? Perhaps. We also explored the latest news from the US government on the SolarWinds hack, including startling information about its point of origin, and wrapped up with good news from Microsoft’s team around its investigation post SolarWinds hack. All in all, some great cybersecurity information and discussion that we think you’ll want to be a part of.
