House Passes Cyber Bill Despite White House Veto Threat

The House passed cybersecurity legislation Thursday that the White House
has threatened to veto.
.
The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), HR 3523, would
allow the government and industry to voluntarily share information about
malicious attacks and viruses. Companies that share information under the
bill's provisions would be granted legal protections if they are subject
to a cyber attack.
.
Laws currently prohibit intelligence agencies from sharing classified
cybersecurity information with companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast,
said Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., the House Intelligence Committee's
ranking member and co-author of the bill. But the White House and privacy
advocates warn that the bill does little to prevent the National Security
Agency and other government entities from gaining access to company data
such as citizens' personal information and communications records that
could be used for purposes other than cybersecurity.
.
The administration and many House Democrats said the bill would not
require private operators of the nation's most critical infrastructure to
improve security or respond to cyber threat information provided by the
government.
.
Senior administration advisers recommend the president veto the bill in
its current form.
.
Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., Susan Collins, R-Maine, Jay Rockefeller,
D-W.Va., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., issued a joint statement
rejecting the House bill because it doesn't address cyber vulnerabilities
in the nation's critical systems.
.
Under a bill sponsored by Lieberman, certain companies operating the
nation's electric grid, water supply and other critical systems would have
to meet cybersecurity standards approved and enforced by the Department of
Homeland Security and share with the government all instances when they
come under cyber attack.
.
"We look forward to debating and passing that bill so that we can
conference with the House and produce legislation that secures the most
critical systems on which all American people and businesses depend each
day," the senators said in a statement.
.
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee,
said the House bill would not create new authorities for agencies or allow
government surveillance.
.
"I wish people would read the bill, all of it," he said in response to
sharp criticisms. "America will be a little safer and our economy better
protected from foreign cyber predators with this legislation," Rogers said
in a statement.
.
Several companies, including Facebook, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and
industry group TechAmerica support the bill.
