U.S. Attorney General William Barr and U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel have signed a bilateral agreement that opens the door for U.S./U.K. law enforcement agencies to gather relevant data more quickly from each jurisdiction's electronic service providers. The goal is to more effectively combat serious crime, such as child abuse and terrorism, by requiring both countries to share electronic data that aids law enforcement bodies in investigations. Under the current "mutual legal assistance" treaty between the two governments, acquiring data can take anywhere from six months to two years. The new agreement has been met with both praise and reservations, and must still be ratified by U.S. Congress before it can take effect.

Preventing PTSD and Burnout for Cybersecurity Professionals

By Craig Hinkley, Dark Reading
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can be experienced by people in all walks of life, including those who work in cybersecurity. These professionals can develop symptoms after witnessing a serious attack on companies that they work to protect. Seeing the damage inflicted on their organizations can have a significant impact on their mental health, and lead to future episodes of panic, depression and high anxiety. Cybersecurity job fatigue, burnout and overall anxiety are growing trends in the industry, and they need to be confronted head on before they become lasting issues.

Liberal Arts Degree? No Degree At All? You Are the Perfect Candidate for a Tech Job

By Eric Rosenbaum, CNBC
Hiring for technology positions is increasingly important, and it's also getting harder all the time. Over the last two years, it's estimated that about 1 million tech jobs have still not been filled. Furthermore, unemployment rates in the tech sector are very low, around 1%. Many companies report that they are expanding their hiring pool to include candidates who don't have a traditional engineering education background, who can be trained on the job. The practice is diversifying the workforce and bringing new perspectives to the table.
