- Gorsuch on Cyber-Related Issues: Part Two (Lawfare): Two weeks ago, we recapped the first in a series of posts covering Supreme Court Justice nominee Neil Gorsuch and his depth of knowledge in cyber. The second part was posted last week and covered computer searches, specifically in the context of timeliness and particularity. The post discusses Gorsuch’s decision in U.S. v. Christie, where he analyzes two separate lines of cases that are relevant to the issue. The blog also noted that Gorsuch makes a “bold” argument that not just the “what” of the search matters, but also the “how.” The full blog post, including some analysis of other Gorsuch decisions, can be read here.

The article explained that while two directives were already made public, former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson issued two more late in the Obama administration’s tenure. The first ordered agencies to remedy vulnerabilities in Cisco products. The second mandated compliance with the 2014 Federal Information Security Modernization Act. The full report can be read here.
