Washington, D.C. -- American businesses will  better be able to protect their computer networks and intellectual property (IP) from cyber attacks with the help of groundbreaking bipartisan legislation introduced late last month by Chairman Mike Rogers and Ranking Member Dutch Ruppersberger.　 The bill gives the federal government new authority to share classified cyber threat information with approved American companies.

 

The "Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011", H.R. 3523, passed the House Intelligence Committee markup earlier this quarter with a decisive vote of 17-1.  The bill is not only receiving strong bipartisan support in the House of Representatives, it also is receiving strong support from major US corporations and ICT industry trade associations.             bt
