Senators draft bill that would require many entities to report cyber breaches within 24 hours
CNN
US lawmakers are preparing legislation that would require a vast range of public and private entities to alert the government within 24 hours of a cybersecurity breach, following a wave of ransomware attacks that have threatened the nation's economic and national security.
The bipartisan draft by Sens. Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat; Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican; and Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, reflects a renewed effort by Congress to pass long-awaited federal rules surrounding cybersecurity breach notifications. There is currently no single federal standard, which critics have said for years is a hindrance to protecting the nation from cyberattacks. Warner is the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Rubio is the panel's top Republican, and Collins has been involved in the push to craft federal data-breach notification laws since at least 2012.More Related News
