The top Democrat on a cybersecurity subcommittee says the “drastic reorganization” obligates CISA’s acting director to discuss its plans with lawmakers.

Reps. Andrew Garbarino and Eric Swalwell said legislative priorities include an expiring information-sharing law and making a threat information-sharing organization permanent.

The program faces a number of challenges before it is set to expire, during a time where state and local governments face a bevy of cyber risks…

The groups told lawmakers that both the committee and the law provide vital protections for cyber threat information swapping.

House lawmakers struck a sympathetic tone toward the company at a hearing where they nevertheless said nothing like that could happen again.

Over the course of his term, Joe Biden has presided over an ambitious agenda on regulation and more, to both praise and criticism.

Rep. Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., tells CyberScoop that making sure “CISA is protected in the appropriations process” is his top priority once a House speaker is selected.

One never can be sure Congress will get its proposals across the finish line, but a pro-CISA sentiment abounds.
