A new lobbying group and legal defense fund will give security researchers a strong voice in policy spaces.
Security researchers have a new set of allies in Washington to help defend against potential legal battles over the flaws they uncover.A group of tech companies, security vendors and nonprofits unveiled two new Google-backed initiatives Thursday aimed at protecting "good faith" security researchers from legal threats and giving them a voice in policy discussions.
Those legal threats often send a chilling message to researchers that they should stop doing this work — or risk paying for a lengthy legal fight.The new programs hope to bridge gaps in the industry's support for security researchers, Tim Willis, head of Google's Project Zero initiative, told Axios. Katie Moussouris, founder and CEO of Luta Security, told Axios she hopes the programs will instead create a "warming effect" between researchers and companies.Applicants for the Security Research Legal Defense Fund will have to demonstrate a financial need for the legal aid and will have to prove that they meet the fund's definition of a good-faith security researcher.
The council plans to focus on community engagement to ensure that well-intentioned hackers feel properly represented in its policy recommendations, Harley Geiger, a cybersecurity attorney at Venable and lead coordinator for the two new organizations, told Axios.
