Wiley Connected

It’s the 13th episode of Hosted Payload, and the writing’s on the wall. Superstitious or not, Rachel Jewett from Via Satellite and the On Orbit podcast and host Henry Gola lean into the theme and discuss the 1995 movie Apollo 13. Meanwhile, Chloe Hawker helps us believe in satellite and space law updates we don’t understand on the Orbital Debrief.

Wiley’s cyber team talks about cyber incident reporting after a new report from DHS advising Congress on duplication of reporting regimes. With over 50 reporting requirements spread over 20 agencies, federal agencies and the private sector should heed this report and look for ways to reduce burdens. Harmonization will be all the more challenging after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finalized controversial new reporting mandates, as DHS is developing major new reporting rules, and other agencies adopt and propose varied and different reporting requirements. Indeed, just this week, the Federal Acquisition Regulation Council dropped yet more reporting mandates for federal contractors. This podcast comes in the wake of news of a recent leak to the press of cyber attack information reported to the government by a prominent government contractor, illustrating the sensitivity of these issues. Join Megan Brown, Lyn Brown, and Josh Waldman for a discussion of the new report and what is on the horizon for cyber incident reporting.

Then, 2001: A Space Odyssey has been called both a masterpiece and monumentally unimaginative.

On September 15, Governor Newsom signed the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (ADCA) into law. The bill – which is modeled after the UK ICO’s code of practice for age-appropriate design – will impose broad new requirements on businesses that provide an online service, product, or feature that is “likely to be accessed by children.” The law will require significant operational changes for any company subject to its requirements. Joan Stewart and Tyler Bridegan of Wiley are joined by Emily Jones of UK-headquartered international law firm Simmons & Simmons to discuss the ADCA and lessons U.S. businesses can learn from the UK Code.
