""This law galvanized our collaboration a decade ago, and the White House understands the advantages and liability protections this legislation provides.""
""[If] we're not able to provide some assurance that somebody can share information with us, whether it is a threat indicator or as a defensive measure, that their exercise within their own environment ... won't expose them to regulatory or legal risk, that makes it a lot harder for us to all do our jobs," Andersen said."
"Executive Assistant Director for Cyber at CISA, Nick Andersen described the legislation as "foundational" for information sharing. He warned that without the liability protections provided under the law, private companies may hesitate to share critical threat intelligence information with the government."
The House is considering the Widespread Information Management for the Welfare of Infrastructure and Government (WIMWIG) Act to reauthorize CISA 2015 for another decade. The White House signaled reauthorization as a near-term priority, noting the law galvanized collaboration and provides advantages and liability protections. House Republicans included a short-term extension of CISA 2015 in a stopgap funding bill to sustain the law through November 21, allowing more time for longer-term reauthorization. Cybersecurity leaders characterized the statute as foundational for information sharing, warning that without liability protections private companies may hesitate to share threat intelligence and hinder collective defense.
