September 02, 2015

As part of an agreement reached on Aug. 5, the Act will be back on the Hill this month and will carry a number of new amendments when it resurfaces. The bill was introduced in March.

If passed, CISA would offer incentives to organizations that shared details with the government and others concerning threat patterns or breaches they've identified. Incentives include protection from investigation and subsequent lawsuits.
