Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) BillContribution
Although CIMs do not directly control networks, dependence on foreign-manufactured CIM-enabled software and tooling poses risks to resilience, security and sovereignty. Chinese attempts to corner the global market in CIMs could have significant national security implications. When they are embedded in cars, they transmit the location, the route and even passenger video. I hope that I need not elaborate on the implications of their being switched off or turned to hostile uses.
