The long running battle between the FTC and Wyndham could soon be settled in the Third Circuit in the U.S. Court of Appeals. In connection with the upcoming ruling, Stacey Brandenburg spoke with BNA Bloomberg, suggesting that the ruling could help, “offer some clarity regarding the issues before it – in particular, regarding the role of the FTC in establishing data security standards.” Stacey continues, “When the FTC first entered this space, there were few entities providing guidance about what steps companies should consider to help protect their customer’s information from breaches; now, the landscape has changed somewhat, and it would be helpful for the court to determine whether the FTC’s role in this space is warranted, and justified by law.”
