Will Other States Follow and Adopt Similar Measures?
Say the phrase “cybersecurity regulation” in the Republican-run Congress, and watch lawmakers flee in all directions. The word “voluntarily” is very popular on Capitol Hill, as in allowing businesses to “voluntarily” adopt – and not mandate – the implementation of the National Institute of Standards and Technology cybersecurity framework.
But not so in some states, especially those with Democratic governors and legislatures. Lawmakers in those states aren’t afraid to place some requirements on businesses to ensure the security and privacy of consumers’ data.
