Emerging Technologies
WebTransport
WebTransport is a new W3C API that enables sending and receiving data over HTTP/3 (QUIC) allowing for low-latency, multiplexed, and secure communication, offering an alternative to WebSockets for certain use cases.
Edge Computing for Real-time
Processing real-time data closer to the source (at the 'edge' of the network) reduces latency and bandwidth usage, crucial for applications like IoT and AI-powered streaming where immediate response is vital.
Serverless Functions with WebSockets
The increasing capability of serverless platforms to handle persistent WebSocket connections simplifies infrastructure management and scales automatically, reducing operational overhead for real-time applications.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) - HITECH Act (2009) and Omnibus Rule (2013) Enforcement
HIPAA, with subsequent amendments like the HITECH Act (2009) and the Omnibus Rule (2013), mandates strict standards for the protection of sensitive patient health information (PHI) in the United States, including requirements for data privacy, security, and breach notification.
This policy directly impacts AnyCable by requiring its healthcare clients to ensure their real-time communication solutions, especially those handling PHI, are HIPAA-compliant, making AnyCable's on-premise and secure data handling features highly valuable.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) (2020)
The CCPA, amended by the CPRA in 2020, grants California consumers extensive rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale or sharing of their data, with strict compliance requirements for businesses operating in the state.
CCPA/CPRA necessitates that AnyCable and its customers ensure transparent data handling practices and provide mechanisms for user data control in their real-time applications, particularly if personal data is processed.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 (2024)
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) updated its Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) to version 2.0 in February 2024, providing a comprehensive, voluntary guide for organizations to manage and reduce cybersecurity risks.
NIST CSF 2.0 encourages AnyCable and its clients to adopt best practices in cybersecurity for their real-time infrastructure, influencing the demand for secure and robust communication solutions.
