12 hours agoSenator makes new attempt to extend cyber info-sharing law by 10 years
The measure from Michigan Senator Gary Peters renames the 2015 Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act as the Protecting America from Cyber Threats Act. The rephrasing, he said, is meant to avoid confusion with the similar sounding Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in DHS. The legislation also includes a retroactive provision to address any gaps in liability protections. The 2015 law let private sector providers transmit cyber threat intelligence with government partners with key legal protections in place.
