IT staff, organization leaders, and the average citizen have all expressed levels of concern over the FCC about-face in regard to ISP privacy. Here’s what the security experts say.
Businesses Need to Be More Mindful of Encryption and Data Sharing
"Some IT pros believe the privacy changes could lead to major consequences for businesses and the larger security market. For example, if ISPs aren’t required to provide the same level of protections when managing company data, we should expect to see more data leaks and less responsibility taken by companies for the breaches. Many IT pros also believe that if these privacy changes are put in place, data encryption will be even more important to prevent potential leaks. But as we know from the Spiceworks encryption report, most businesses are not currently encrypting their data at rest."
