Srsly Risky Biz: Punish the Wicked, Reward the Righteous

The Pall Mall Process, an international initiative addressing commercial spyware abuse, is shifting focus toward developing voluntary industry standards. However, experts acknowledge that such non-binding standards have limited effectiveness without accompanying government enforcement and regulatory mechanisms.

Why it matters: Security practitioners and compliance officers should monitor this effort as it may influence how vendors are regulated and certified; the current voluntary approach provides little assurance that spyware abusers will be held accountable or change behavior.
