Peter Jackson, Counsel in Greenberg Glusker’s Intellectual Property Group, provided commentary to Federal News Network on a new executive order issued by President Donald Trump, which is expected to impact the cybersecurity standards that software vendors must follow.
Excerpts:
Peter Jackson, counsel in Los Angeles law firm Greenberg Glusker, said Trump’s EO “severs the effort to force developers to show that the software they provide to the government has security and integrity.”
“While developers will still certify under a souped-up standard, some software will still be delivered with the kinds of low-hanging flaws and errors the attestation process might have caught,” Jackson said in an emailed statement.
