New Laws Pose New IoT Security Questions in Russia, Vietnam and Beyond
Four recent laws have a similar global impact. Russia passed the Sovereign Internet Law to create an independent Russian web while also requiring internet providers to install devices to filter traffic. A new law in Vietnam requires companies to submit user data to the government when asked. It also stipulates that international companies doing business there open a local office. In addition, recent Chines legislation also would require network operators to turn over data to the government upon request. Finally, an anti-encryption law in Australia similarly also requires entities in Australia to hand over data if asked or face a fine of A$10 million (roughly $7.3 million) for noncompliant institutions.
