A recent article evaluating the new Congress indicated it may “allow information about civilians to go directly to the National Security Agency, or some other federal agency such as Homeland Security, before going to the NSA.” On November 23, 2014 Judge Greenwald wrote an article in Business Insurance entitled “Cyber breaches could prompt cooperation in Congress” in which she indicated the “long-stalled cyber security legislation finally stands a strong chance of gaining approval by Congress and being signed into law.”
The article included comments by said Larry Clinton (President and CEO of, Internet Security Alliance):
There also may be incentives put in place to “promote the wider use” of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s [NIST] proposed voluntary cyber security framework.
However there are concerns about privacy that must be balanced with any new cybersecurity laws.
