The Loper Bright Decision: How it Impacts Cybersecurity Law
ByKayne
The Loper Bright decision has yielded impactful results: the Supreme Court has overturned forty years of administrative law, leading to potential litigation over the interpretation of ambiguous laws previously decided by federal agencies. This article explores key questions for cybersecurity professionals and leaders as we enter a more contentious period of cybersecurity law. Courts will no longer defer to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes and will exercise their independent judgment. This shift may lead to more frequent legal challenges, increased scrutiny of regulations, and delays.

The future looks bright if Generation AI can address cybersecurity
ByKayne
There’s quite a lot of optimism in Generation AI, the IEEE study of millennial parent’s attitudes about artificial intelligence. The findings of the study are evolutionary, not revolutionary, as views towards artificial intelligence have become more refined over the years. However, the optimism shown in this study pre-supposes that we can move past our current cybersecurity issues.
The tools and strategies schools need for ransomware defense

Schools also contend with risk born of constant user shifts in the student population. This puts schools in an unusual and unenviable position, Kayne McGladrey, field CISO at Hyperproof, said via email. “Being able to apply real-time policies based on user and device behavior via zero-trust networking becomes critical in this environment,” McGladrey said. Absent these tools, strategies and adequate staff, schools will remain a frequent target for cybercriminals. They could also, at the very least, give schools the confidence needed to refuse ransom demands.
What Are The New Developments In Networking And Connectivity For Security?

The growing acceptance of Zero Trust as a legitimate security architecture is a significant improvement in the past decade for modern cyber security. Although initially maligned as a marketing buzzword, and still unfortunately misused in product announcements, zero trust now reflects table stakes to support the needs of hybrid and fully remote workforces. Network connections should no longer be implicitly trusted because of a user’s location behind a corporate firewall or the use of a company’s VPN. Rather, each transaction and connection from a user and their associated device should be inspected and validated to confirm that the access is appropriate. The ability of network solutions to provide both real-time telemetry and controls, so that an automated and external policy engine can take enforcement actions is also a recent improvement, as networking equipment vendors historically tried to place their products and subscriptions at the center of cyber security strategies. Today’s effective networking solutions integrate well with other solutions to provide one part of a holistic cyber security strategy.
Strike a balance: Ensuring secure remote work without hindering productivity

Kayne McGladrey (@kaynemcgladrey), Security Architect at Ascent Solutions, agrees: “Microsoft 365, for example, allows for automatic classification and labeling of unstructured data, but also permits users to provide a justification when the automation gets it wrong.
“Combined with automated data loss prevention, this can allow a business to easily enforce and report on policies for sharing non-public data both inside and outside of their organization,” he says.
