Bills Introduced – 6-23-21

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in session, there were 63 bills introduced. Two of those bills may receive additional coverage in this blog:

S 2199 A bill to require the Secretary of Energy to establish a voluntary Cyber Sense program to test the cybersecurity of products and technologies intended for use in the bulk-power system, and for other purposes. Sen. Rosen, Jacky [D-NV] 

S 2201 A bill to manage supply chain risk through counterintelligence training, and for other purposes. Sen. Peters, Gary C. [D-MI]

I will be covering S 2199. I suspect that it is a companion measure to HR 2928.

As always, one has to be careful with the term ‘supply chain risk’. I will be watching this bill to see if that term is used in the cybersecurity sense and, if it does, whether the bill contains language and definitions that would include industrial control systems in its coverage.
