Webcast When Microsoft loudly and publicly challenges the US government on remote data access, you can bet the Feds and lawmakers won't just sit still and take it.
And indeed they didn't when Microsoft refused to grant Uncle Sam access to emails stored on a Microsoft server in an Irish data centre, triggering a legal battle that went [1]all the way to the US Supreme Court in 2018. Before the nation's highest court could rule on the matter, though, a law called the CLOUD Act [2]was passed allowing investigators to probe systems operated by American entities regardless of where in the world those systems are. The case before the Supreme Court was rendered moot by the passing of the CLOUD Act.
This US law overshadows international privacy laws such as Europe's GDPR: if a US-based company collects data, it’s subject to US government investigation, no matter where it’s kept.
On top of this, the US government doesn’t even need to tell you – the company’s customer or supplier – that this surveillance is happening. If that sounds daunting, it's because it is. What can be done?
The Reg ’s Tim Phillips does his best to get to the bottom of it in this [3]on-demand webcast . Joined by Sab Knight of IONOS, and Robert Healey of Relentless Data Privacy, the panel will frame their discussion around assessing how America's CLOUD Act may relate to your business, and your cloud service providers.
Looking into exactly how the CLOUD Act works, separating out the genuine threats to your corporate data from fear-mongering, and considering, by example and precedent, and the types of data that may be affected in future uses of the act by the US government, this webcast – brought to you by IONOS – aims to help give you an edge when considering the law in your ongoing corporate data policy and cloud infrastructure developments.
