UK Will Be More Vulnerable To Cybercrime After Brexit
Exiting European Union will likely put a huge strain on United Kingdom’s agencies that help protect the citizens, government and businesses from cyber threats. A lot of security experts are already worried that the UK will be now more prone to cyber threats than ever before.
Exiting the EU will result in more hacktivism, a decrease in information sharing, reduction in good talent and increased complexity in regulations.
Hackers are known to take advantage of chaotic situations like these and right now UK is in a lot of uncertainty over the Brexit.

Intel Looks Serious To Sell Cyber Security Business
Intel is planning or selling its Intel Security business. This could include the antivirus software maker McAfee which Intel acquired for $7.7 billion around 6 years ago.
The chipmaker giant is talking to various banks and looking at different options for the future of its cyber security department in a deal that is quite possibly the largest in the industry.
Intel has declined to comment on the news. But sources close to the company have revealed the chipmaker is indeed looking at their options.
With cyber threats on the rise, plenty of private equity buyers are showing interest in cyber security companies.

Silicon Valley May Influence Cyber Security Policy
The policy on cyber security in the U.S. seen an up and down path.
During December last year, the congress had passed a bill that made it easier for software companies in the U.S. to keep their proprietary technology. It also encouraged them to share any data they have on cyber security issues. It was a strong push from the authorities in order to help combat threats that are rapidly changing.
But then in April 2016, a new bill was introduced that would force any U.S companies to provide backdoor access to encrypted data which would reveal personal information of users of that technology.

DHS Program Suffers From Lack Of Relevant Features
The Software Assurance Marketplace (SWAMP) was announced in 2014 and it was quickly supported by $23+ million grant from DHS Science and Technology Directorate.
The SWAMP project was well appropriate and its intentions were great when it was introduced. But since then, it has suffered in some places like for example, its lacking relevant features.
The SWAMP project is now lacking on its original vision by not having the features it should have especially in the code support department. Users are complaining that the site usability is abysmal and has many bugs on it.

Short Sellers of Cybersecurity Are Unable To Make Up Their Mind
Cybersecurity is increasingly becoming important for major companies and organizations. These companies have to develop new applications and platforms that now use advanced technologies and work on mobile devices. But hackers keep making their way to steal personal information and credit card details.
As a result, taking measures against cybersecurity threats have become increasingly important. Most short sellers however have compared their previous figures with short interests for cyber security and the results were mixed.
This shows that cyber security short sellers are still unable to make their mind whether they should deal with the cyber threats or not on a mass level.

U.S. Cyber Command Is Failing To Retain Top Industry Talent
The U.S.Cyber Command works day and night to secure top talent through recruitment but these efforts are overlooked when they are unable to keep the same talent they hired.

Maj. Gen. Paul Nakasone told in an interview that the U.S Cyber Command already offers great career forging through their job packages, but it is still not enough to retain the top talent. He admitted that they have to introduce better pay and benefits if they are to keep the talent.

EU Has Introduced New Digital Laws That May Boost Specialized Cyber Security Insurance
A new law passed by the EU on cyber security and data protection could be very beneficial to insurance companies. It will allow them to pick up more clients when the rules are finally implemented in 2018.
Under the data protection regulation and network and information security (NIS) directive, the new cyber security law will require companies to report to authorities if any of their digital networks are attacked by cyber criminals. Both of these laws have been approved during the start of the year.
There is still very limited data on how many businesses in Europe have already purchased cyber security insurance that protect them against cyber criminals.
