LabMD's recent victory in its long legal battle with the Federal Trade Commission will be short-lived, the medical testing lab's CEO predicts. Find out why, and what changes Michael Daugherty hopes the case will bring to FTC's enforcement practices.

NICE's Rodney Petersen sees too many government agencies and businesses using old-school methods to identify and recruit IT security professionals. Consequently, they often fail to build their cybersecurity staffs.

The ruling to dismiss the FTC's data security case against medical lab LabMD will result in FTC staff more carefully vetting the enforcement cases the agency pursues against all other companies in the future, predicts former FTC attorney Reed Freeman.

In the wake of the Paris attacks, cybersecurity expert Brian Honan argues that now is not the time to make snap public policy decisions that attempt to promote or restrict either cryptography or surveillance.

The terrorist attacks in Paris likely would have occurred even if intelligence and law enforcement agencies could have broken encryption Islamic State attackers used in their communications to plan the assault that killed at least 129 people.

As the Department of Health and Human Services gears up for its second round of HIPAA compliance audits, the focus will shift to using these audits for potential enforcement actions, including financial settlements, predicts attorney Anna Spencer.

Banks need to prepare for many more massive cyberattacks along the lines of the sophisticated campaign that hit JPMorgan Chase and other financial services organizations, says Javelin Strategy & Research's Al Pascual, who offers risk management insights.

An upcoming Verizon report on health data breaches illustrates that the data is at risk at organizations outside of the healthcare sector, and not just at hospitals, clinics, insurers and their business associates, says security expert Suzanne Widup of Verizon Enterprise Solutions.

The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015, which the Senate recently passed, contains detailed provisions designed to help the healthcare sector fight cyberattacks, explains Samantha Burch of HIMSS, who offers an analysis.
