On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to approve a bill that would reconfigure the Department of Homeland Security’s National Protection and Programs Directorate into the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The House vote comes just a few weeks after the U.S. Senate approved the bill in late October.
If President Donald Trump signs the legislation, the new cyberagency could provide businesses and other cybersecurity stakeholders with a designated point of communication within the federal government and create a crucial new role for lawyers in the process.
