A few points on Privacy and Data Protection
• Federal:
No central regulator or overarching law Sector Specific (e.g.,
Surveillance, Financial Services, Healthcare)
• State:
Most states and territories have PII breach notification laws … some require regulator notification • EU Data Protection Regulation PII Adopted by Parliament March 2014 to replace member state national laws based on 1995 directive … expected to be adopted in 2015 … 2017 effective date Consent, right to be forgotten/erasure, fines, data breach reporting/notification

3 November 7, 2014 SCCE SE Regional ConferenceContext: Existing Federal “Cyber” Law
• The Counterfeit Access Device and Computer Fraud & Abuse Act of 1984 • Prohibits various attacks on federal computer systems and on those used by banks and in
interstate and foreign commerce
• The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1987 • Prohibits unauthorized electronic eavesdropping • The Computer Security Act of 1987
• Gave National Institute of Science & Technology (NIST) responsibility for developing security standards for USG computer system
»Except national security systems used for defense/intelligence (CNSS) • Gave responsibility to Secretary of Commerce for promulgating electronic security standards • The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
• Gave OMB responsibility for developing federal agency cybersecurity policies • The Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996
• Agency heads responsible for ensuring adequacy of agency information security policies/procedures and established CIO positions in agencies
Context: Existing Federal “Cyber” Law,
continued
• The Homeland Security Act of 2002
• Gave DHS cybersecurity responsibilities, along with general responsibility for homeland security and critical infrastructure
• The Cyber Security Research and Development Act of 2002 • Established cybersecurity research responsibilities in NIST • The E- Government Act of 2002
• Guide to federal IT management and initiatives to make services available online, includes cybersecurity requirements
• The Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA)
• Strengthened NIST and agency cybersecurity responsibilities, established federal incident center, made OMB responsible for promulgating federal cybersecurity standards
No comprehensive Cyber Security Law

Energy Policy Act of 2005
Title XII
Section 1211 (Electric Reliability Standards)
Amends Federal Power Act to grant FERC authority
to regulate bulk power system reliability
Directs FERC to designate an Electric Reliability
Organization (ERO)
Authorizes ERO to develop and enforce reliability
standards, to include cyber security protection
Limits FERC standards-setting authority… approve,
reject, remand for changes, or direct development of
new standards
CIP-002: Critical asset designation
CIP-003: Cyber security management controls CIP-004: Personnel security standards
CIP-005: Electronic security perimeter (ESP) definition CIP-006: Physical security for ESP
CIP-007: Electronic ESP security
CIP-008: Incident reporting and response planning CIP-009: Recovery planning for cyber assets
CIP standards
Alert system
Industry Advisory
• Informational… highlight issue or problem • No response required
Recommendation to Industry
• Recommends specific action • Response required
Essential Action
• Essential to grid reliability • Requires NERC Board approval • Response required
Mandatory, enforceable
Accountable, but not enforceable

NERC cyber security toolkit
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
• Developed by NIST with industry • Version 1.0 released in Feb 2014 • 5 core functions: identify, protect, detect,
respond and recover • Voluntary and evolving
Critical Infrastructure Cyber Community (C3) Voluntary Program
• Identifies and notifies owners/operators of critical infrastructure
• Offers information sharing, technical support, training, assessments
Cybersecurity Information Sharing
• Rapid dissemination of unclassified cyber threat reports to targets and expedited personnel clearances • Victim notifications by the FBI
Chemical Commercial Facilities Communications Energy Critical Manufacturing Dams Defense Industrial Base Emergency Services Financial Services
Food & Agriculture Government Facilities
Water & Wastewater Systems Nuclear Reactors, Materials & Waste Healthcare & Public Health Information Technology Transportation Systems
16 Critical Infrastructure Sectors
Focused on Critical Infrastructure
Agency Guidance on Cybersecurity
• 2011 SEC Guidance• Regulated companies should disclose information about cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents in SEC filings consistent with general disclosure requirements
• Recent breaches have led to speculation of mandatory requirements in the future
• J 2014 SEC Ch i A il C b Ri k d h B d
disclose internally/externally
• June 2014 SEC Chair Aguilar on Cyber Risks and the Boardroom • Adopt the NIST framework for managing cyber security risk
• Assign oversight of cyber risk to a specific board committee, preferably a separate risk committee
• Assign in-house corporate expertise to manage cybersecurity risks on daily basis and report to the board regularly
• Preparedness: response plans that include how to determine extent of damage and how to disclose internally/externally
• 2014 DOJ/FTC Policy Statement
• Antitrust should not be a barrier to legitimate cybersecurity information sharing if proper safeguards in place
• Information appropriate for sharing: cybersecurity threats, incident reports, indicators, threat signatures, alerts
• Cannot share competitive information such as pricing, output or business plans

Cyber security policy landscape
5 key issues
1. Information sharing
2. Clarification of Federal authority
3. Critical infrastructure
4. Liability protections

• Lots of activity, but little movement beyond non-controversial
measures
• Progress hamstrung by competing approaches
House leadership… piecemeal legislation
Senate leadership… comprehensive legislation
• White House focused on NIST Framework and Agency actions
November 7, 2014 SCCE SE Regional Conference
Post-election outlook
•
Remote chance of seeing cyber provisions in Continuing Resolution
•
Pre-conference discussions suggest support for the following measures:
FISMA Reform
Info-sharing (CISPA/CISA) Cyber R&D
SAFETY Act amendment (NCCIP)
Lame Duck

thCongress
White House
•
Senate Dems likely to follow White House retreat from focus on
comprehensive legislation
•
Republican victory in mid-terms could break cyber logjam in Congress
•
Continued focus on NIST Cyber Framework…further adoption, Version
2.0
EU: Cybersecurity Strategy
• Strategy for “open, safe and secure cyberspace” in response to
risks, incidents and cybercrime issued February 7, 2013
• Network & Information Security Directive (NIS Directive) adopted
by Parliament in March 2014:
• Common requirements for NIS strategy, cooperation plan,
competent authority, computer emergency response team
(CERT)
• Common NIS standards for authorities and critical infrastructure
providers (energy, transport, banking, stock exchange, health)
• Cooperation among Member States … early warnings, response,
drills
• Notification of significant impact events
• Audit power, referral of criminal and data protection breaches
13 November 7, 2014 SCCE SE Regional ConferenceWhat to do now…
• Don’t be the 75%!• Identify what you are trying to protect • Are your policies in place and up to date?
• Are you testing your policies and procedures through drills?
• For Products: are you doing product testing and vulnerability assessments? • Apply the NIST Framework … how do you stand up in IDENTIFY,
PROTECT, DETECT, RESPOND, RECOVER for your cyber risk areas? • Are you ready for potential mandatory cyber risk and incident reporting? • Is cybersecurity risk being managed by your board?
“Every compliance officer needs to decide whether it’s time
for them to be Captain Kirk and boldly go into cyber...”*
