Bill would put DHS in charge of all civilian networks
[link to www.federalnewsradio.com]
New legislation expected to be introduced today would give the Homeland Security Department broad new authorities and powers over federal civilian networks.
The bill, however, does not include a "kill switch" for private sector networks, as widely reported previously.
[link to www.federalnewsradio.com]
The latest and most comprehensive bill to change how agencies secure their computer networks is on the fast track.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), one of the principle sponsors of the Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010, says the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which he is the chairman of, will hold a hearing June 15 and mark the bill up about a week later, June 23. He wants to report the bill out of committee before the July 4 recess.
The bill now becomes one of more than 40 introduced during the 111th Congress. Some of the more prominent bills include the Cybersecurity Act of 2010 from Sens. John Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), the International Cyberspace and Cybersecurity Coordination Act of 2010 from Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2010 from Rep. Daniel Lipinski (D-Ill.) and several amendments to the House version of the Defense Authorization bill from Reps. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.), Diane Watson (D-Calif.) and Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.).
there are more than 40 cyberbills and with all the shit going on in the gulf I'm sure at least one of these will pass. Maybe the same provision is written into each one?
