Episode 59 — National Security: FISA and Section 702 Surveillance Authorities

National security laws create unique privacy challenges. This episode introduces the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and its Amendments Act, particularly Section 702, which authorizes surveillance of foreign targets. We’ll explain how these authorities intersect with data from U.S. companies and why they raise global privacy concerns.

We’ll also cover the oversight mechanisms in place, including the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Exam questions often reference FISA or Section 702, so a clear understanding of their scope and impact is essential. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
