DoD Issues Long-Awaited Interim Rule on Cyber Requirements and Cloud Services
Client Alert | 1 min read | 09.03.15
As discussed in our recent blog post, on August 26, DoD published an Interim Rule that would expand the already onerous requirements of the DFARS Safeguarding Clause by broadening its application to "covered defense information" and by requiring subcontractors to report cyber incidents directly to DoD. As discussed in a separate blog post, the Interim Rule also seeks to ensure uniformity in the DoD's IT acquisition and use of cloud computing services by adding T&C's, including that, unless otherwise authorized, cloud service providers must maintain all government data within the U.S., outlying areas, or DoD premises.

European Commission Publishes Landmark Guidelines on Exclusionary Abuses by Dominant Companies
On 3 September 2026, the European Commission adopted new Guidelines on the application of Article 102 TFEU to abusive exclusionary conduct by dominant undertakings. The Guidelines follow a public consultation on a draft published in August 2024 and reflect substantial stakeholder feedback. They replace the Commission's 2008 Guidance on enforcement priorities (which ceases to apply 30 days after publication of the new guidelines in the Official Journal) and represent the most significant reset of the Commission's Article 102 enforcement framework in nearly two decades. The Commission's stated aim is to set out principles and operational guidance, enhance legal certainty, and help companies self-assess their exclusionary-abuse risk.
