NON REDACTED ARCHIVE
(Side note: A fascinating history of Jon’s contributions and the standards, policies, and culture he helped to create were captured in a web archive dedicated to his honor.) More of a function than an organization, Jon lead IANA, working for USC’s Information Sciences Institute until his death in October 1998. in Computer Science at UCLA in 1974, and was key in the creation of IANA, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. IANA, ICANN, and WHOISĭeveloped mainly for government, academic, and military sites, the Net’s early domain and naming management was the responsibility of a single individual. As an EU law, GDPR was intended to protect EU citizens however, it actually protects anyone within EU borders (citizen, resident, visitor, or otherwise) and applies to companies outside of the EU to the extent they are monitoring activities or offering goods and services to persons physically in the EU, irrespective of citizenship status. To drive compliance, the GDPR comes with enhanced penalties for egregious misconduct - up to 20 million Euros (roughly $23.5 million at the time of writing) or 4 percent of the offender’s worldwide annual revenue, whichever is greater. The result was a robust, risk-based data protection law calling for transparency, fairness, and accountability when processing EU personal data. The regulation is a result of years of negotiation and drafting among the European Parliament, Council of the European Union, and European Commission that built upon decades-old privacy principles and the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive. In short, the GDPR is a European Union data protection regulation – the law for all 28 member states.

(Feel free to skip to the last section if you’re up to speed on GDPR and WHOIS.) What is the GDPR? We’ll attempt to provide an overview here, in layman’s terms, before we share our thoughts on how it will impact Cisco Umbrella. To understand that impact, it might be useful to understand who’s involved and how we got to this point. GDPR impacts everyone who processes EU personal data.
The impact of GDPR is being felt not only by businesses and individuals, but also by security researchers, investigators, and those who offer security products and services that rely on WHOIS data. While the regulation is intended to protect the privacy of individuals, ironically, it created a last-minute scramble that caused millions of unsolicited emails to be sent around the world notifying customers of updated privacy policies and making requests for marketing consent. On May 25th, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect.
