Bipartisan duo wants to renew 10-year-old cyberthreat information sharing law

Two U.S. senators introduced the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Extension Act to renew and refine the 2015 CISA law, preserving liability protections that encourage companies to share cyber threat indicators with DHS and enabling broader defense through CISA, JCDC, and ISACs. The proposal is framed as essential to national security amid increasingly sophisticated threats, with references to incidents like SolarWinds and Volt Typhoon as justification, and includes attention to privacy safeguards and potential updates to reflect current operational realities.
