S4x24 Main Stage Interview With Stewart Baker

About this episode

Dale Peterson interviews Stewart Baker about vendor liability in cybersecurity and its implications.

Stewart Baker is one of the preeminent lawyers on topics of cyber law with an impressive career in and out of government. Stewart also hosts the Cyberlaw podcast. The Biden administration is contending that vendors should be held liable for security deficiencies in their products. Assuming this is turned into law and/or executive orders, what does it mean? What can we learn from other liability law to inform us what would be required for a vendor to be held liable for a security issue? How would the judgment / damages be determined. Dale's note: We talk about the SEC charges against SolarWinds in this interview.
