Regulation rules: Logical laws need teeth to back them up - and save lives

摘要

Develop some professional pride beyond short-term profit; participate in developing logical regulations that aren't too complex or burdensome; and repeatedly call for stiff penalties for violations and lawbreakers. WHILE I was hip deep in a couple more cybersecurity interviews a few weeks back, two sources independently mentioned the European Commission's (EC) new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that went into force on May 25 with the aim of protecting the data and privacy of European Union (EU) citizens. Not too many flies on me, I hope, so I cobbled some basics together, and added a little sidebar to this issue's "Secure in the knowledge" cybersecurity feature article (page 34).
