Reverse Engineering the Cyber Policy API

Reverse Engineering the Cyber Policy API

“Breakup up big tech” or “Secure the elections” are national news headlines. Privacy, cybersecurity, and digital rights are critical issues being discussed by lawmakers. Technologies like facial recognition, machine learning, and cloud computing are at the core of almost every one of these issues, however Congress lacks the in-house technical expertise it needs to help inform the discussions leading to new policies and laws. Of the 3500 legislative staff in Congress, there are exactly seven that have an actionable technology background. IT professionals and security researchers can help bridge the gap between government and the technology community by tapping into the tech policy API to become a voice for informed change within the legislative process to help prevent unintended consequences before it’s too late.
