Governments fine companies for environmental, ADA, etc. incidents/violations, why not for IT-related security incidents/violations? Governments also give money away to for-profits and nonprofits all the time via grants.
- bagacrap 6y agoNot sure how those things are related? Non IT security events are not penalized by the government, e.g. if someone breaks into your warehouse and steals physical goods you don't get slapped with a fine for buying the wrong padlocks and ABUS doesn't get a fine for making a lock that was cuttable.
- romanows 6y agoGovernments do penalize non-IT security events-- first thing that comes to mind are laws that impose penalties for improper storage of a firearm. It probably depends on jurisdiction but in my Google search, "proper storage" can require the firearm to be placed in a locked container or have a tamper resistant mechanical lock.
