Cybersecurity Legislation in Congress: Where does it Stand?
The effort to move major cybersecurity legislation into the senate is longstanding. For at least three years there have been numerous hearings and dozens of legislative drafts - and yet, there are calls for more discussion and vetting.
February is turning out to be Cybersecurity Month in Washington, as multiple major cybersecurity legislative endeavors, with broad and deep implications for shoring up the US infrastructure, make their way through the house and senate. The question is, are all involved participants ready to actually move forward on this? And if so, will Congress be able to achieve sweeping cybersecurity legislation before the presidential election?
Examples of such bills include:
- The House Homeland Security Committee marking up the "Promoting and Enhancing Cybersecurity and Information Sharing Effectiveness Act (PRECISE) which tackles multiple cybersecurity issues and creates a new information sharing organization, NISO.
- Energy and Commerce hearings in anticipation of the "Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011" which addresses information sharing.
- The "Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2011", which addresses cybersecurity R&D, and passed through the Science and Technology Committee last year.
- On the Senate side, a comprehensive bill taking on FISMA reform, governmental authorities, critical infrastructure protection, R&D information sharing, data breaches and miscellaneous provisions, is expected to make an appearance.
Keynote Speaker:
Ari Schwartz
Senior Policy Advisor to the Secretary
Internet Policy Task Force
United States Department of Commerce
Ari Schwartz serves as a Senior Policy Advisor to Commerce Secretary John Bryson. Schwartz helps to run the Department of Commerce’s Internet Policy Task Force, providing input on areas such as cybersecurity, privacy, and identity management and represents the Department on a range of policy-related interagency working groups. He came to the Department of Commerce through the National Institute of Standards and Technology where he served as Senior Internet Policy Advisor for the NIST Information Technology Laboratory. Prior to his work in Government, Schwartz served over 12 years as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Center for Democracy and Technology. While at CDT Schwartz led the Anti-Spyware Coalition (ASC), anti-spyware software companies, academics, and public interest groups dedicated to defeating spyware. He won both the 2006 RSA and the 2010 Online Trust Alliance awards for Excellence in Public Policy. He was also named one of the Top 5 influential IT security thinkers of 2007 by Secure Computing and an emerging leader by both Government Executive and Politico.
Panelists:
Larry Clinton
President
Internet Security Alliance (ISA)
Larry Clinton is the President of the Internet Security Alliance (ISA), a multi-sector trade association with membership from virtually every one of the designated critical industry sectors. The mission of the ISA is to combine advanced technology with economics and public policy to create a sustainable system of cyber security. Mr. Clinton is known for his ability to take the complicated issues in this space and explain them clearly to a wide range of audiences---professional, policy makers and the general public. He has been featured in mass media such as USA Today, the PBS News Hour, the Morning Show on CBS, Fox News, CNN’s Situation Room, C-SPAN, and CNBC. He has also authored numerous professional journal articles on cyber security. This year he has published articles in the Cutter IT Journal, the Journal of Strategic Security and the Journal of Software Technology. Mr. Clinton is regularly called upon to testify before both the U.S. House and Senate. In 2008, ISA published its Cyber Security Social Contract, which is both the first and last source cited in the Executive Summary of President Obama’s Cyber Space Policy Review and which also cites more than a dozen ISA white papers – far more than any other source. The ISA's pro-market, anti-regulatory approach to cyber security is outlined in its numerous publications, including the “ISA Cyber Security Social Contract,” “The Social Contract 2.0: A 21st Century Program for Effective Cyber Security,” “The Financial Management of Cyber Risk: An Implementation Framework for CFOs,” and “The Financial Impact of Cyber Risk: 50 Questions Every CFO Should Ask,” all of which were written by the ISA Board of Directors and edited by Mr. Clinton.
