Alex Iftimie spoke to Law360 about the cybersecurity and privacy policy to watch in the coming year.Attorneys will be watching whether the federal government is able to put more pressure on bad actors operating in nation states like Russia and China by seizing funds and imposing other consequences on them, as well as whether Congress will be able to pass proposals to require more widespread reporting of cyber incidents and ransomware payments.“We need to be clear eyed that the benefits and compensation that ransomware actors are able to get far outpace the cost to them,” Alex said. “The government is starting to do more to chip away at and diminish the threat, and we’re expecting to see a lot more action both in terms of the government using all of its tools to raise the costs on the criminals and nation state actors who are perpetuating these cyberattacks and regulators imposing new requirements on the private sector to make sure they’re not the low-hanging fruit that threat actors go after.”Read the <a href="https://media2.mofo.com/v3/assets/blt5775cc69c999c255/blt6a7281a47a6ab702/627321b88e09542a15b7e213/220103-cybersecurity-privacy-policy-to-watch.pdf" target="_blank">full article.</a>
