S5E1: Amit Elazari - Convergence of Technology & Digital Policy

Resilient Cyber

- For those who haven't met you yet or come across your work, can you tell us a bit about your background?
- First off, tell us a bit about OpenPolicy, what is the organizations mission and why did you found it?
- Why do you think it's important for there to be tight collaboration and open communication between businesses, startups and policy makers?
- Some often say that policy is written by those unfamiliar with the technology it governs or the impact of the regulation and it has unintended consequences. Do you think this occurs and how do we go about avoiding it?
- You were recently involved in the launch of the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark program launch for IoT labeling, can you tell us a bit about that?
- We're seeing increased calls and efforts for regulating technology and software, especially around software supply chain security, Secure-by-Design products and not leaving risk to the consumers. How do we balance the regulatory push without stifling innovation, which is often the concern?
- I recently saw you launch your own show and interview Jim Dempsey, who I've interviewed in the past. Among other topics, you all touched on the recent SEC rule changes and the increased push for cybersecurity to be a key consideration and activity for governing publicly trading companies. Why do you think we're seeing such a push?
- For those looking to learn more about Open Policy, and your efforts around digital policy and regulation, where can folks learn more and potentially even get involved?
