Cybersecurity vulnerabilities challenge governments, businesses, and individuals worldwide. Attacks have been initiated against individuals, corporations, and countries. Targets have included government networks, companies, and political organizations, depending upon whether the attacker was seeking military intelligence, conducting diplomatic or industrial espionage, engaging in cybercrime, or intimidating political activists. In addition, national borders mean little or nothing to cyberattackers, and attributing an attack to a specific location can be difficult, which may make responding problematic.
Despite many recommendations made over the past decade, most major legislative provisions relating to cybersecurity were enacted prior to 2002. However, on December 18, 2014, five cybersecurity bills were signed by the President. These bills from the 113th Congress changed federal cybersecurity programs in a number of ways:
In the 114th Congress, the House passed eight cyber-related bills:
The Senate passed one cyber-related bill in the 114th Congress:
In addition to congressional passage of these cyber-specific bills, on December 18, 2015, H.R. 2029, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, was signed into law (P.L. 114-113). The omnibus law's cybersecurity provisions are located in Division N (Cybersecurity Act of 2015), including Title I, Cybersecurity Information Sharing; Title II, National Cybersecurity Advancement; Title III, Federal Cybersecurity Workforce Assessment; and Title IV, Other Cyber Matters. The measure represents a compromise between the House and Senate intelligence committees and the House Homeland Security Committee. It includes various components of three separate information sharing bills: H.R. 1560 and H.R. 1731, passed by the House in April 2015, and S. 754, passed by the Senate in October 2015. The bill encourages private companies to voluntarily share information about cyber threats with each other as well as the government. Firms that participate in the information sharing will receive liability protection.
In the 115th Congress, 27 bills have received committee consideration or passed one or both chambers.
Most major legislative provisions relating to cybersecurity were enacted prior to 2002, despite many recommendations made over the past decade. This report covers legislation from 2013-present, linking cybersecurity legislation and hearings in the 113th, 114th, and 115th Congresses. In addition, it provides a list of executive orders and presidential directives pertaining to information and computer security from 1990 to present.
In the 112th Congress, the White House sent a comprehensive, seven-part legislative proposal (White House Proposal) to Congress on May 12, 2011.1 Some elements of that proposal were included in both House and Senate bills. The House passed a series of bills that addressed a variety of issues—from toughening law enforcement of cybercrimes to giving the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) oversight of federal information technology and critical infrastructure security to lessening liability for private companies that adopt cybersecurity best practices. The Senate pursued a comprehensive cybersecurity bill (S. 3414) with several committees working to create a single vehicle for passage, backed by the White House, but the bill failed to overcome two cloture votes and did not pass.
In the 113th Congress, five cybersecurity bills were signed by the President on December 18, 2014:
The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 became P.L. 113-66 on December 26, 2013 and included a variety of cybersecurity-related provisions related to the cybersecurity workforce and training.
In February 2015, the White House issued Executive Order 13691,2 which, along with a legislative proposal, was aimed at enhancing information sharing in cybersecurity among private sector entities. It promoted the use of information sharing and analysis organizations (ISAOs), which were defined in the Homeland Security Act (6 U.S.C. §131(5)) as entities that gather, analyze, and share information on the security of critical infrastructure (CI)3 to assist in defense against and recovery from incidents. The White House initiatives would broaden the reach of ISAOs beyond CI to any affinity group. In that sense, they differ from the more familiar information sharing and analysis centers (ISACs), created in response to Presidential Decision Directive (PDD) 63 in 1998 specifically to address information-sharing needs in CI sectors.
Also in February 2015, the Obama Administration established, via presidential memorandum,4 the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center (CTIIC) to be established by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Its purposes are to provide integrated analysis on foreign cybersecurity threats and incidents affecting national interests and to support relevant government entities, including the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as well as others at the Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Justice (DOJ).
More than 20 bills were introduced in the 114th Congress that would address several issues, including data-breach notification, incidents involving other nation-states, information sharing, law enforcement and cybercrime, protection of critical infrastructure (CI), workforce development, and education. The Obama Administration released proposals for three bills—on information sharing, data-breach notification, and revision of cybercrime laws.
On April 22, 2015, the House passed H.R. 1560, which would provide liability protection to companies that share cyber threat information with the government and other companies so long as personal information is removed before the sharing of such information. On April 23, 2015, the House passed H.R. 1731, which would encourage information sharing with the Department of Homeland Security by protecting entities from civil liabilities.
On October 27, 2015, the Senate passed S. 754, the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (CISA), by a vote of 74-21 (Roll call vote 291). The House approved companion legislation in April, so the cybersecurity measure is now on track to reach President Obama's desk and be signed into law, once a conference report is negotiated. CISA attempts to open up communication channels between industry and federal agencies by offering legal immunity to companies that share data with the government. For more information on what is covered in the Senate bill, see CRS Legal Sidebar WSLG1429, Senate Passes Cybersecurity Information Sharing Bill –What's Next?, by [author name scrubbed].
On November 30, 2015, the House passed H.R. 3490, which would establish in the Department of Homeland Security a National Computer Forensics Institute to be operated by the U.S. Secret Service for the dissemination of homeland security information related to the investigation and prevention of cyber and electronic crime. On December 10, 2015, the House passed H.R. 3869, the State and Local Cyber Protection Act of 2015, which requires the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS's) national cybersecurity and communications integration center (NCCIC) to assist state and local governments with cybersecurity, and on December 16, 2015, the House passed H.R. 3878, Strengthening Cybersecurity Information Sharing and Coordination in Our Ports Act of 2015, which requires DHS to seek to enhance cybersecurity situational awareness and information sharing between and with maritime security stakeholders from federal, state, local, and tribal governments, public safety and emergency response agencies, law enforcement and security organizations, maritime industry participants, port owners and operators, and maritime terminal owners and operators.
On December 18, 2015, H.R. 2029, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, was signed into public law (P.L. 114-113). The omnibus law's cybersecurity provisions are located in Division N (Cybersecurity Act of 2015), including Title I, Cybersecurity Information Sharing; Title II, National Cybersecurity Advancement; Title III, Federal Cybersecurity Workforce Assessment; and Title IV, Other Cyber Matters. The measure represents a compromise between the House and Senate intelligence committees and the House Homeland Security Committee. It includes various components of three separate information sharing bills: H.R. 1560 and H.R. 1731, passed by the House in April 2015, and S. 754, passed by the Senate in October 2015. The bill encourages private companies to voluntarily share information about cyber threats with each other as well as the government. Firms that participate in the information sharing will receive liability protection.
Thirty-one bills have received committee consideration or passed one or both chambers in the 115th Congress. Five bills have become public law.
Most major cybersecurity legislative provisions were enacted prior to 2002, despite many recommendations having been made over the past decade. More recently, in the 115th and 116th Congresses, cybersecurity legislation has received either committee or floor action or final passage, and various hearings have been held.
In the 116th Congress, five House and four Senate bills have received committee consideration.
