The Intragovernmental Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act was introduced by senators Rob Portman (R-OH), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Gary Peters (D-MI).
The lawmakers are displeased with the “lengthy delays” in Congress cybersecurity staff getting information from the government’s executive branch.
The goal of the new legislation is to ensure that actionable cybersecurity information from the DHS is directly and quickly sent to the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate and the Chief Administrative Officer of the House of Representatives.
