Cyber threat information law hurtles toward expiration, with poor prospects for renewal

This report covers the political impasse over renewing the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015, highlighting failed attempts in both chambers to pass either short- or long-term extensions amid objections from Sen. Rand Paul and broader budget negotiations. It outlines industry and administration support for a clean reauthorization, critiques of proposed changes that could weaken liability and FOIA protections, and concerns that a lapse would chill private-sector threat information sharing and harm national cybersecurity posture. Next steps are uncertain, with limited near-term vehicles for renewal and potential long-term options tied to the NDAA.
