Summary
A coalition of 52 U.S. organizations is calling on Congress to reauthorize the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) before its September 30 expiration. CISA facilitates the sharing of cyber threat information between businesses and federal agencies while providing legal protections for participating companies. The coalition highlights that without the law, the U.S. could face increased cybersecurity risks and that the ability to share information is crucial for enhancing defensive measures against cyber threats. Originally enacted in 2015, CISA addresses barriers to information sharing that impede efforts to understand and counter cyber threats effectively.
