Supporting Secure and Smart IT Solutions

Economic expansion will rest increasingly on business models that can successfully move data in ways that are efficient, secure, and ensure privacy. Advancements in cloud computing, wireless capacities and smart technologies all create greater business potential while raising many public policy questions.

We support public policies that balance the need to secure the national technology infrastructure and protect the user with promoting enterprise, innovation and competition.

We support:

• Working toward a uniform approach to data breach laws, privacy laws and regulations thereof
• Advancing cyber education (in government and private sector)
• Policies that bring greater legal certainty for intermediary service providers
• Broadband expansion, adoption and sustainability
• Cloud computing policies that promote security and privacy while at the same time not hampering innovation and competition in this nascent industry
• Advancements in smart grid, smart transit, and smart home technologies and policies that ensure a competitive level playing field for small- and medium-size IT businesses
• Advancements and innovations in smart technologies while ensuring the ongoing sanctity of the national cyber infrastructure, including vendor-neutral data privacy and security safeguards
• Data access, privacy and security policies that foster informed consumer choice
