Data Security a Shared Responsibility, Tech/Communications Coalition Tells FTC

Data security is a shared responsibility among tech-communications industry and government stakeholders, the Council to Secure the Digital Economy told the FTC in recent comments. Including the Information Technology Industry Council, USTelecom and CTA, the council suggested the FTC looks to its recent international botnet guide (see 1811290054) when addressing cybersecurity and data security issues. Earlier this month, CTA announced an effort to craft a technical standard based on the guide’s content, the council said. Antitrust enforcers should increase attention on “employer mergers and conduct that have anticompetitive labor-market effects,” American Antitrust Institute said in comments AAI sent in an email blast Tuesday.
