cybersecurity law that was viewed at its initial passage as the most significant cybersecurity legislation Congress had ever passed, and that advocates say now fosters several important threat-sharing initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/fedscoop.com\/senate-takes-up-cisa-at-long-last\/\">2015 Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act<\/a> provides safeguards for companies that voluntarily share threat intelligence data with the government or each other, such as federal antitrust exemptions and shields against state and federal disclosure laws.<\/p>\n<p>Reauthorization of the law faces several hurdles, including uncertainty about who will take the lead on the bill in the House and Senate, potential privacy concerns, a tight timeline, and other competing priorities. There are also some who believe the law could use updates to fit today\u2019s threats, potentially introducing further complications.<\/p>\n<p>But its renewal has some bipartisan support, including among leaders of committees important to its passage, and there is optimism among outside groups that it can win congressional approval. The push is in the very early stages, but there\u2019s a \u201cgrowing recognition\u201d that it needs to be reauthorized, said Matthew Eggers, vice president of cybersecurity policy in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce\u2019s cyber, intelligence and security division.<\/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>\u201cWe\u2019re in a little bit of spring training in the sense that we haven\u2019t advocated for this legislation for about 10-plus years,\u201d he said. \u201cA number of organizations, over the last 10 years, have probably taken for granted the work that\u2019s been done to get the legislation passed.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-the-bill-accomplished\">What the bill accomplished<\/h3>\n<p>The 2015 law \u2014 often called \u201c2015 CISA\u201d to differentiate it from the agency with the same acronym, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency \u2014 evolved from earlier bills, namely an effort that began in 2009 and culminated in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt in 2012 to pass <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsgac.senate.gov\/media\/reps\/cybersecurity-act-gets-close-scrutiny\/\">\u201ccomprehensive, bipartisan cybersecurity legislation.\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers then turned their attention to an industry-supported element of the legislation: information sharing. It moved through the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2014, then again in 2015, before gaining passage on the Senate floor by a 74-21 vote. It was then inserted into an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/114th-congress\/house-bill\/2029\/text\">annual spending bill<\/a>, which President Barack Obama signed into law that December.<\/p>\n<p>Those who opposed the bill said it contained inadequate privacy protections, fearing what kind of personal data would end up in government hands. One of the biggest opponents then was Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who now chairs the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that may end up playing a key role in the fate of the law\u2019s renewal.<\/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>Eggers said a \u201cnotable accomplishment\u201d of the law is that there\u2019s no real evidence that those privacy concerns have played out as feared. <\/p>\n<p>One group that criticized the 2015 legislation, the Center for Democracy and Technology, said it still is concerned about the privacy ramifications, especially with the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/house-dems-say-doge-is-leaving-publicly-exposed-entry-points-into-government-systems\/\">haphazard handling of private data<\/a> under the Trump administration\u2019s Department of Government Efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe concerns are the same, but the data privacy environment is much more ominous,\u201d said Jake Laperruque, deputy director of the group\u2019s security and surveillance project. \u201cOur sensitive and revealing data is generated more frequently, sought out and sold off more aggressively by data brokers, and now often churned through AI systems with an endless appetite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRenewing this authority will require a lot of trust, right now it\u2019s a big question of whether the government will earn it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>After the 2015 law passed, the Homeland Security Department established the Automated Indicator Sharing (AIS) program. That program has been the subject of often-negative watchdog reports, with the most recent one published in September noting that the number of participants fell to the lowest levels since 2017 in the period it reviewed, from 304 in 2020 to 135 in 2022. The number of actual threat indicators, like malicious IP addresses, fell precipitously to 93%, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/fedscoop.com\/cisa-threat-information-sharing-dhs-oig-report\/\">DHS inspector general<\/a>. <\/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>The report faulted the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection Agency\u2019s recruitment strategy for the dropoff in participants, and the dropoff in indicators on an unnamed federal agency that stopped sharing with the program over \u201cunspecified security concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advocates of renewing the 2015 law say some criticisms of the DHS program are fair, while others are misleading, but that the law\u2019s importance isn\u2019t tied to the AIS program created in its wake.<\/p>\n<p>Eggers said that some companies haven\u2019t seen enough high-quality threat information coming back from the program to justify participation. But he said the membership numbers are deceptive, since sector-specific industry information sharing and analysis centers (ISACs) might count as one member, but have thousands of companies who benefit from the program.<\/p>\n<p>Kemba Walden, a former attorney at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and later the acting national cyber director, said during her time at the agency some sectors made good use of the program, such as energy, transportation and financial services. <\/p>\n<p>Scott Algeier, executive director of the Information Technology ISAC, said what AIS does well is \u201cshare indicators at scale,\u201d something very useful to security researchers or companies with large security programs, and something that used to have to be done by plugging them into spreadsheets.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-reason-for-renewal\">The reason for renewal<\/h3>\n<p>The real value of the 2015 law, advocates agree, is the legal protections it offers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt provides a really strong legal framework for the sharing of threat intelligence, both within industry and industry to government,\u201d Algeier said. Before, industry relied largely on a Justice Department legal opinion as the framework for creating ISACs, but legislation is a far stronger framework, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Walden, now president of the Paladin Global Institute, noted that a newer government-industry information-sharing program \u2014 the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative \u2014 uses the 2015 law in its legal agreement with participants. It also could serve as the legal framework for future cyber threat-sharing initiatives, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Eggers said that if businesses and their legal advisers \u201cbelieve that they need the protections, then the protections are absolutely necessary to really achieve the kind of sharing and receiving of cyber threat information that benefits not only the business that\u2019s doing the sharing and receiving, but industry partners and the 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<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-updates-are-needed\">Where updates are needed<\/h3>\n<p>As helpful as the 2015 law has been, it needs an update, said Larry Clinton, president of the Internet Security Alliance.<\/p>\n<p>A renewal should result in \u201ca bill that works for 2025 and so we should be looking at the current risks,\u201d he said, further referencing events like the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/solarwinds-hacked-again-zero-day\/\">2019 SolarWinds breach<\/a> or last year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/crowdstrike-falcon-flaw-microsoft-outage-flights-grounded-windows\/\">CrowdStrike outage<\/a>. When a product is used by an extremely large share of the market, and an incident can affect a substantial number of users, the companies that make them should meet with the federal government to take necessary security steps, then the government should reimburse them for costs and provide them protection from lawsuits, Clinton said.<\/p>\n<p>Walden said there are other sections of the law that could use changes, like the definition of sharing information for a \u201ccybersecurity purpose,\u201d a term that doesn\u2019t cover cyber frauds or scams and should be expanded to do so, she said. <\/p>\n<p>She also said it\u2019s unclear what kind of \u201cdefensive measures\u201d companies can share with the government without running afoul of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the main federal anti-hacking law. \u201cIf we expect for people in industry to lean forward and lean in on defending our critical infrastructure, maybe we should be a little bit more explicit,\u201d Walden said.<\/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>When asked for comment, a CISA spokesperson did not directly address the renewal effort, telling CyberScoop that \u201cthe Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 facilitates the voluntary sharing of cybersecurity information among companies and with CISA. That information empowers companies to defend their systems against cyber risks and supports a wide swath of CISA\u2019s efforts in cybersecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clinton said the Trump administration has shown signs of valuing industry collaboration, a positive sign for the law\u2019s renewal.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-congress-thinks\">What Congress thinks<\/h3>\n<p>Some leading members of the House and Senate Intelligence and Homeland Security panels support renewal, in some form.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe committee, alongside other committees of jurisdiction, is prioritizing review of this legislation to ensure there are no information sharing gaps across the public and private sectors, which is especially important as nation-state threats to our networks and infrastructure intensify,\u201d House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., said. <\/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>The chair of his panel\u2019s cyber subcommittee, Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., said renewing the law \u201cmakes sense going forward,\u201d given that information sharing is an \u201cessential component\u201d of bolstering cybersecurity, but what the final reauthorization should cover is something that needs to be worked out in coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Some key Democrats are on board, too. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCISA 2015 is the backbone of operational collaboration between the Federal government and the private sector, and reauthorizing it is one of my top priorities this Congress,\u201d said Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the top Democrat on Green\u2019s panel. \u201cWe have just over six months to get this critical reauthorization across the finish line, and I am eager to work with my Republican colleagues as soon as they are ready to begin working on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Said Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee: \u201cCISA plays an essential role in public-private threat sharing, and I will strongly support its reauthorization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One key leader, though \u2014 Sen.
