When it comes to critical infrastructure such as electricity, water treatment, internet connectivity, and hazardous waste management, many fear that foreign governments may find ways to infiltrate those systems. To proactively prevent this sort of hacking, the U.S. federal government and states like Texas have instituted regulations and laws that prohibit businesses or individuals from engaging in commercial transactions with certain foreign nations. This episode features Robert Soza discussing the Lone Star Infrastructure Protection Act (LIPA) and regulations from the U.S. Department of Commerce on the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) supply chain. Tune in as Robert shares what businesses need to understand regarding their potential liability for installing and using technology components manufactured in countries like China and Russia.
See the article “Texas and Federal Government Seek to Protect U.S. Infrastructure From Disruption by Foreign Adversaries” for more information. For questions related to LIPA, ICTS regulations, and international trade laws, please contact Robert Soza or any member of Jackson Walker’s International Transactions team.
