A day late and a dollar short. On Thursday with both the
House and Senate in session, there were 40 bills introduced. Of those three may
be of specific interest to readers of this blog:
HR
6188 To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish a program to
improve election system cybersecurity by facilitating and encouraging
assessments by independent technical experts to identify and report election
cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and for other purposes. Rep.
Quigley, Mike [D-IL-5]
The title of HR 6175 is vague to say the least. I will be
watching for potential cybersecurity or chemical transportation issues.
I do not plan to expand this blog into the arena or election
cybersecurity, but HR 6188’s potentially ground breaking (sorry, overstated
deliberately) concept of outsourcing cybersecurity execution to the private
sector is something worth looking into.
After a quick review of the S 3109 text
and Committee
Report I find no specific language for a short-term CFATS extension, but
the funding tables do show funding for the program. More on this later.
