Greg and Camille Baroni Center for Government Contracting

Richard A. Beutel, senior researcher at the Greg and Camille Baroni Center for Government Contracting, writes in Federal News Network about cybersecurity legal and regulatory changes under consideration by the Biden Administration. While the Administration's concerns are valid, government intervention to change industry practices may not be the right approach. The Baroni Center has joined other academics in exploring potential solutions, finding that modernizing industry “standards of care” under tort law as opposed to contract law may better achieve the results the Administration is seeking without disrupting established commercial contracting practices.
