Overview of Data Security Risks
The discussion centers on the national security risks posed by foreign adversaries accessing sensitive personal data of Americans. These risks arise when entities exploit gathered data, particularly through commercial transactions, which may include geolocation, health, or financial information of individuals. Such exploitation enables adversaries to track, surveil, and potentially manipulate U.S. citizens, thereby threatening national security interests. The proposed rule aims to close loopholes in data access, especially considering data being available on the open market.
