China’s new cybersecurity law will enable its government to discover potential security vulnerabilities of any company doing business in the country, threat intelligence firm Recorded Future warns.<\/p>\n
The law<\/a> grants the China Information Technology Evaluation Center (CNITSEC), an office in the Ministry of State Security (MSS), the power to request source code and other intellectual property of tech suppliers operating in the country. Information gleaned might easily be exploited by CNITSEC in furtherance of its intelligence operations<\/a>, Recorded Future claims.<\/p>\n Priscilla Moriuchi, director of strategic threat development at the firm, reckons the measures place companies between a rock and a hard place. Vendors either have to give up their proprietary technology and IP, or lose out on one of the world’s biggest and most important markets.<\/p>\n
