Reauthorization of CISA ’15: 10 Years Later, New Threats, Exigent Urgency

In an op-ed for Claroty Nexus, IST Chief Strategy Officer Megan Stifel calls on Congress to reauthorize the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (CISA ’15), which improves and incentivizes the sharing of cyber threat indicators and information about defensive measures taken against cyber threats between public and private sectors.

Because of its 10-year authorization, the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (CISA ’15) is set to expire on September 30, unless Congress takes action. In an oped for Claroty Nexus, IST Chief Strategy Officer Megan Stifel called for Congressional action to preserve the measure, which improves and incentivizes the sharing of cyber threat indicators and other information.

“Without the ability to correlate and cross reference incidents across victims and sectors, the network defenders who toil daily to keep malicious actors out of our public and private sectors will be blind, leaving all of us exposed and our national and economic security at greater risk,” she wrote.
