ITAR Defense Controls Catches Up to Modern IT, Allowing Exporters to Use Encryption to Protect Defense Technology on the Cloud
The State Department has brought the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) up to date by releasing an Interim Final Rule adopting cloud computing encryption standards that the Commerce Department adopted in 2015. Arent Fox presents a side-by-side comparison of the two very similar solutions, and explains what the new rule will mean for the exporting community, the gist of what it requires, what’s new and different in the State Department solution, and “interesting informational tidbits” in its preamble. The rule is open to comment through January 27. It will become effective on March 25.
