The US Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (‘BIS’) has released an interim final rule, which establishes controls ‘on the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of certain items that can be used for malicious cyber activities.’
BIS says the rule ‘also creates a new License Exception Authorized Cybersecurity Exports (“ACE”) and requests public comments on the projected impact of the proposed controls on U.S. industry and the cybersecurity community.’ https://www.worldecr.com/news/bis-publishes-interim-rule-on-surveillance-cybersecurity-products/h
It notes that ACE would ‘allow the export, reexport and transfer (in-country) of “cybersecurity items” to most destinations, while retaining a license requirement for exports to countries of national security or weapons of mass destruction concern. In addition, countries subject to a U.S. arms embargo will require a license.’
