Jody Westby, professional blogger for Forbes magazine, appears on Task Force 7 Radio to talk about how the European Union is handling the challenges they face in the Cyber Security industry. She speaks about the current NIS Directives, the EU Cyber Security Act, and the requirements that are driving these initiatives. Westby also addresses these initiatives in great specificity as they relate to “Other Essential Operators” (OES) and “Digital Service Providers” (DSP). She also opines on whether or not the United States should be paying more attention to EU Cyber Security Initiatives, why U.S. companies aren’t paying attention to the EU Cyber Security Act, and she reviews the risks to U.S. domination of Cyber Security on a global stage. Westby wraps up the third segment of the show by addressing what threats the NIS Directives present to U.S. businesses, what impact the Directives with have on U.S. companies, and what U.S. companies can do to prepare for them.
