DOD Proposed New Cybersecurity Rules
Client Alert | 1 min read | 03.08.10
On March 3, DoD issued a notice of, and requested comments on, proposed rules levying information security requirements for safeguarding unclassified "DoD information" and reporting security breaches when contractors and subcontractors may have such information "resident on or transiting" their information systems. The proposed rule not only mandates that contractors "shall provide adequate security to safeguard DoD information," but also (1) requires flowdown to subcontractors; (2) establishes extreme standards in some areas (e.g., "best level of security and privacy available"); (3) incorporates National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards in some areas, but not others; and (4) acknowledges that the contractor will still need to comply with all other applicable security standards, such as "CPI, PII, For Official Use Only, Privacy Act, ITAR, EAR, and HIPAA."

On September 5, 2025, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) withdrew its appeals of decisions issued by Texas and Florida federal district courts, which enjoined the FTC from enforcing a nationwide rule banning almost all noncompete employment agreements. Companies, however, should not read this decision to mean that their noncompete agreements will no longer be subjected to antitrust scrutiny by federal enforcers. In a statement joined by Commissioner Melissa Holyoak, Chairman Andrew Ferguson stressed that the FTC “will continue to enforce the antitrust laws aggressively against noncompete agreements” and warned that “firms in industries plagued by thickets of noncompete agreements will receive [in the coming days] warning letters from me, urging them to consider abandoning those agreements as the Commission prepares investigations and enforcement actions.”
