This evening the House passed
HR 3510, the Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity Strategy Act of
2015 on a voice vote. There was only 10 minutes (out of an authorized 40
minutes) of debate on the bill before the vote.
As I noted in an
earlier post there is really nothing in the bill that specifically
addresses control system security issues, but neither does it specifically
address IT security issues. This is a very broadly written bill that does not
even distinguish between government cybersecurity issues and regulatory
cybersecurity issues.
This bill is unlikely to attract even this much attention in
the Senate if it is considered there. I would expect that it would be taken up
at the end of the day under the unanimous consent process which normally
involves no debate.
