Supreme Court Ruling on Chevron Doctrine Could Destroy Future Cybersecurity Regulations

Legal and cybersecurity experts are still assessing what impact the Chevron Doctrine ruling will have on future regulation. But Brandon Pugh, director of cybersecurity and emerging threats at the R Street Institute, said the ruling will force federal officials to rethink their approach to future cyber regulations to ensure they don’t create an overly burdensome environment for critical infrastructure and industry partners.

“I think it might cause agencies to think about their legal justification and perhaps ask Congress for more authority in cases of ambiguity,” Pugh said in an interview.
