Cyberspace Commission Staff Publishes Legislative Proposals To Help With Recommendations

摘要

The staff for a commission that has produced dozens of recommendations to increase the cyber security of the U.S. and deter cyber-attacks against the country on Tuesday issued a set of 54 legislative proposals meant to help Congress expedite many of the recommendations. "We have provided this compilation to the staffs of the relevant congressional committees and subcommittees, as well as to the American public, in the hope and expectation of participating in an ongoing dialogue about its content," Mark Montgomery, the executive director for the staff of the bipartisan Cyberspace Solarium Commission (CSC), says in a foreword to the 257-page set of proposals. "We are eager to discuss and further refine this language, with the ultimate goal of helping Congress quickly pass the most effective legislation possible." The CSC in March released a report with 82 policy and legislative recommendations such as establishment of a White House National Cyber Director, the establishment of permanent select committees in the House and Senate on cyber security, clarification of National Guard capabilities, and require the defense industrial base to participate in a cyber threat intelligence program.
