A high-ranking U.S. Congress official, Sean Plankey, the Democratic staff director of a key Senate committee, stated that legislators should renew the 2015 Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA). This law facilitates the sharing of information about cyber threats between government agencies and the private sector. Plankey also emphasized the need for legislators to take action on legislation aimed at better harmonizing federal cybersecurity regulations. This initiative aims to improve the coordination and effectiveness of cybersecurity efforts at the federal level.
