A new report on network security threats says that if some countries adopt tougher security and user privacy regulations, companies may look for cloud service providers in countries where it is cheaper, but with lax security. It’s what the Information Security Forum (ISF) calls ‘cyber havens’. The ISF also warns that regulations that impose more disclosure of security weaknesses in the name of transparency may have the unintended effect of inviting cyberattacks on them.
