Summary
The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) of 2015 has played a crucial role in promoting information exchange on cyber threats between the U.S. government and private sector, bolstering national security efforts. As the Act nears its expiration in September 2025, policymakers must assess its effectiveness, particularly regarding the protection of critical infrastructure. While CISA has succeeded in providing legal protections for private entities sharing threat data, the Government Accountability Office has flagged significant shortcomings in its execution, indicating that enhancements are necessary to optimize its impact on security. This evaluation is vital for healthcare technology professionals, as the healthcare sector increasingly relies on robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive patient data and maintain system integrity.
