Bill Directs CISA to Secure Critical Infrastructure

Senate legislation Thursday would require the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to act to better identify cyberattacks against critical infrastructure. Introduced by Rob Portman, R-Ohio; Gary Peters, D-Mich.; Mark Warner, D-Va.; and Marco Rubio, R-Fla., the DHS Industrial Control Systems Capabilities Enhancement Act would require CISA to ensure “it can better identify and mitigate threats to Industrial Control Systems.” Companion legislation introduced by House Homeland Security Committee ranking member John Katko, R-N.Y., passed the House unanimously.
