Cyber Security rules posted in final form by NY State

New York state regulators published their forthcoming cyber
security rules today, hailed by Governor Andrew Cuomo as a landmark
regulation that will protect sensitive consumer data held by
insurers, banks and other financial services firms.
The rules, adjusted at the request of insurers and other covered
entities, call for companies to encrypt customer data when it is
either in transit over external networks or at rest in their
offices when in the judgment of the companies it represents a
risk..
