Compliance VS Security - what's the difference? 🤔 Compliance: Your organisation implements a standard password policy that meets the minimum requirements outlined by the Privacy Act 1988, such as requiring passwords to be changed every 90 days. ✅ Security: Beyond just changing passwords regularly, your organisation adopts Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all systems. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification beyond just the password, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorised access. ✅✅ The Privacy Act provides more coverage than most security standards nowadays and it is also mandatory! Its 13 principles outline how personal information should be handled, emphasising the importance of privacy and security. For a closer look at how this act shapes cybersecurity practices, check out our latest article below ⬇️ 🔗 https://loom.ly/tNNi5Yc #CyberSecurity #ACSC #PrivacyAct #DataProtection #AustralianCyberSecurity

Championing Privacy-First Security: Harmonizing Privacy and Security Compliance The conflict arises when accessing sensitive data is seen as a privacy violation, impeding effective threat response, particularly in network traffic analysis. Though packet scrutiny is vital for cybersecurity, concerns arise with personally identifiable information (PII). Privacy advocates favor end-to-end encryption without packet inspection. Despite the conflict, regulators stress the importance of reasonable security, evident in actions against companies with security breaches. Resolving this requires a shift in viewpoint on data privacy and security.

An often-heard bane of CISOs and other IT security professionals is navigating the stupefying number of regulations within the cybersecurity industry. The Internet Security Alliance said there is a "common misconception" that "if only there was federal regulation of cyberspace, we would have a more secure environment." "The facts don't bear this assertion," they concluded. Cybersecurity regulations make up an untamed and fragmented landscape. So much so, that one federal agency is sounding the alarm and looking for solutions: https://lnkd.in/eWUQ-nVa #cybersecurity #CISO #regulations

While the definition of "reasonable cybersecurity" will become the minimum bar for companies - most SMB's still will face challenges meeting this developing requirement. What steps are you taking to ensure your organization is taking the reasonable and necessary steps to protect yourself and your customers?

#Cybersecurity in the #USA "We expect that cybersecurity will remain a central issue at the federal and state levels into #2025 and beyond, particularly with respect to data considered to be more sensitive in nature – including health-related information, biometric information and information about children. Within the federal government in particular, there is – and will continue to be – a focus on taking steps to enhance the nation’s cybersecurity posture. In its 2024 Report on the Cybersecurity Posture of the United States, the Office of the National Cyber Director outlined several key actions and areas of focus that involve collaborations between the government and the private sector."

The latest from OODA Loop contributor Emilio Iasiello: A recent report on the Cybersecurity Posture of the United States examined U.S. efforts to improve its overall cybersecurity, assessing its progress in aligning to the goals set by the 2023 National Cybersecurity Strategy.  The report is not short on praise, much of it warranted, highlighting the fact that 33 out of 36 initiatives were completed on time, a commendable feat to be sure.  Trends driving implementation included risks to critical infrastructure, a prolific ransomware ecosystem, supply chain concerns, the commercial spyware market, and the potential threat posed by irresponsible use of artificial intelligence.  With nearly all of the initiatives being met, the government appears well situated to begin tackling phase two of its implementation plan.  The GAO gave a favorable review of these efforts as well.  It seems that the United States is headed in the right direction and making substantial strides in key areas, although how these metrics will translate into improved security against cyber attacks remains to be seen. https://lnkd.in/edS3rBus OODA LLC
