Sen. Ron Wyden introduces the Secure and Interoperable Government Collaboration Technology Act to address cyber threats following major government hacks. The bill aims to establish minimum standards for commonly used federal collaboration tools like Zoom and Slack, ensuring interoperability and strong security measures to prevent hijacking by hackers or foreign entities.
The bill necessitates adoption of new standards by collaboration tools within four years, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsible for compliance reviews. Despite no specific timeframe for these assessments, DHS must report findings to Congress within a month of conducting them.
