BSA Launches “Global Cyber Agenda,” Calls for Unified Software and Cloud Security Standards
Global Security Mag

Central to BSA’s recommendations are four guiding principles: boost software security, refine risk management practices, encourage international cooperation, and invest in enduring digital safeguards. Among the proposals is a call for “safe harbor” protections for software developers adhering to best practices—aimed at spurring innovation in secure software design without the fear of disproportionate liability.
In Europe, BSA has been vocal about the need for a unified stance on cybersecurity, especially amid ongoing debates over data localization policies that have stalled the launch of the EU Cybersecurity Certification Scheme (EUCS). BSA strongly opposes these localization requirements, advocating instead for a collaborative approach that leverages internationally recognized security standards. This cooperation, BSA believes, will facilitate market access for cloud providers and offer customers a broader range of secure cloud services.
