Thank you for posting, @Michael Roza.
The protection of genomic data is an important topic that does not get enough attention. Loss of genomic data and its impact on the BioScience sector, especially when combined with #AI, is considered one of the top five technologies for the West to retain national security and to ensure the health & safety of the population. The FBI treats the loss of genomic data as a Weapon of Mass Destruction alongside things like nuclear weapons.
It is not a coincidence privacy laws include genomic data, and we see genomic data contained in regulations.
This is an article I wrote about the topic in 2022. It needs a refresh but but the themes and resources remain valid.

Hi All,
NIST just published NIST IR 8432, Cybersecurity of Genomic Data.
This report summarizes the current practices, challenges, and proposed solutions for securing genomic data, as identified by genomic data stakeholders from industry, government, and academia. This effort is informed by direction from Congress, the White House, and NIST's existing expertise in genomics as well as cybersecurity.
