Gary Peters, D-Mich., was cited multiple times during the hearing as a way to remedy the streamlining problem. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/24699825-ell23595-discussion-draft-cyber-reg-harm-1\">draft copy<\/a> of Peters\u2019 Cybersecurity Regulation Harmonization Act, obtained by <a href=\"https:\/\/therecord.media\/gary-peters-legislation-new-committee-oncd-harmonize-cyber-regulations\">The Record<\/a>, calls for the creation of an interagency committee to coordinate cyber regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Regulatory harmonization \u201cis a problem that has existed for decades and the trend line is generally heading toward more fragmentation, not more harmonization,\u201d said Nicholas Leiserson, the assistant national cyber director for cyber policy and programs. \u201cIt is a problem that requires leadership from ONCD and Congress informed by the private sector.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Leiserson said the Biden administration is supportive of Peters\u2019 legislation, calling it \u201cconsistent with the views\u201d ONCD has previously shared with the committee. The bill, he added, \u201cwould allow ONCD to better carry out our mission by bringing independent regulatory commissions to the table together with the interagency in a policymaking process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rulemaking from independent agencies has drawn plenty of ire from the private sector, most notably in the case of the Securities and Exchange Commission\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/sec-cybersecurity-incidents-disclosure-rule\/\">cybersecurity incident disclosure rules<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Peters noted in his opening statement that federal regulators have passed 48 rules on cybersecurity standards over the past four years. Though he said that regulatory push \u201ccomes from a good place,\u201d absent a higher level of coordination \u201cthere is no way to ensure that these guidelines don\u2019t overlap, duplicate, or quite simply contradict each other,\u201d leading to results that \u201care often confusing and inefficient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., echoed Peters\u2019 concerns, particularly with regard to independent agencies that \u201cstill need additional oversight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are independent agencies that feel like they\u2019re independent from everybody. They\u2019re not independent from everybody,\u201d Lankford said. \u201cThere\u2019s still some boundaries that need to be there when they\u2019re creating new regs, that they\u2019re not a completely independent fourth branch of government.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>ONCD is \u201climited\u201d in its ability to corral independent regulatory commissions, Leiserson said, underscoring the need for congressional involvement. Getting all relevant parties to the table is paramount, he added, something that became especially clear as ONCD analyzed the more than 2,000 pages of comments in response to its request for information. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/oncd\/briefing-room\/2024\/06\/04\/we-need-to-harmonize-cybersecurity-regulations-what-we-heard-from-our-partners\/\">a report<\/a> published Wednesday, the ONCD sought to summarize the 86 unique responses to that request.<\/p>\n<p>The Business Roundtable, for example, said that burdensome and often conflicting regulations \u201crequire companies to devote more resources to fulfilling technical compliance requirements without improving cybersecurity outcomes.\u201d The Bank Policy Institute <a href=\"https:\/\/bpi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/BPI-Statement-for-the-Record-Streamlining-the-Federal-Cybersecurity-Regulatory-Process.pdf\">noted<\/a> that a survey of large financial institutions found that chief information security officers or comparable senior cyber leaders spend between 30% to 50% of their time on regulatory compliance matters. And the National Defense Industry Association said that regulatory \u201cinconsistencies\u201d erect \u201cbarriers to entry\u201d for small and mid-sized businesses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you have multiple reporting regimes with multiple requirements that are not alike, you spend a lot of time doing paperwork rather than focusing on your job, because you need to meet the requirements of both of these frameworks that you\u2019re subject to,\u201d said David Hinchman, director of information technology and cybersecurity at the Government Accountability Office, which released a corresponding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gao.gov\/products\/gao-24-107602\">report<\/a> Wednesday on cyber harmonization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A lack of federal cyber harmonization also negatively impacts the ability of U.S. companies to compete internationally, Leiserson said, noting that European firms only need to worry about operating under the E.U. framework. And at a time when <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/federal-government-russian-breach-microsoft\/\">Russia<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/fbi-warns-china-preparing-for-disruptive-attacks\/\">China<\/a> are growing increasingly bold in their attacks on U.S. critical infrastructure, the streamlining of standards becomes even more critical.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Creating a proper framework, Leiserson said, would essentially amount to showing sectors \u201chow you should be approaching securing your enterprise IT systems, which are what the adversaries are targeting to get that initial access to set those beachheads.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In an email to CyberScoop, Amy Chang, a senior fellow on cybersecurity and emerging threats at the right-leaning R Street Institute, said \u201cmore coherent messaging\u201d on harmonization emerged at the hearing and in ONCD\u2019s report than what has previously been communicated to the private sector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Going forward, Chang said ONCD and, to some extent, Congress, \u201cmust generate additional buy-in from regulators to be in favor of harmonization, and generate alignment in priorities and expectations with stakeholders such as policymakers, regulatory bodies, industry professionals, and cybersecurity experts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.7928348909657\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"15\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/congress-needs-to-step-in-on-cybersecurity-harmonization-white-house-official-says-1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Matt Bracken\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Matt Bracken<\/h4>\n<p> Matt Bracken is the managing editor of FedScoop and CyberScoop, overseeing coverage of federal government technology policy and cybersecurity.
