In this regard, cybersecurity products and services present a challenge because the exports may contain a mixture of different software, encryptionfunctions, and controlled technical information.
Export of software from the U.S., including software that deploys encryptionfunctions, is controlled by the Bureau of Industry and Security ( BIS) in accordance with the Export Administration Regulations ( EAR).
The conversion could cost even more if the various technologies developed for functions such as encryption and compression are not compatible with each other.
