Coalition for Responsible Cybersecurity fights proposed export control regulations

A broad cross-section of industry announced the formation of the Coalition for Responsible Cybersecurity. The purpose of the Coalition is to prevent the Commerce Department from adopting proposed export control regulations that could severely impact U.S. cybersecurity effectiveness.

“These rules, if they were adopted as they stand today, would put the entire U.S. cybersecurity industry—and everyone who relies on that industry for protection—at risk,” said Cheri McGuire, Vice President, Global Government Affairs & Cybersecurity Policy of Symantec Corporation. “The rule as written is going to hurt cybersecurity research, slow innovation in cybersecurity technology, and put a damper on cybersecurity information sharing.”
