White House Fact Sheet: Cybersecurity Legislative Proposal

Citation
White House, White House Fact Sheet: Cybersecurity Legislative Proposal (2011).

Overview
This publication outlines a need for a national standard for breach reporting, voluntary government assistance for organizations reacting to security intrusions, protection for organizations that share threat data, and transparency of the cyber security efforts of critical-infrastructure organizations. The report also recommends the development of new privacy and civil liberties procedures that will work in parallel with cyber security measures to protect the confidentiality of individual data when sharing information and to ensure that such data are monitored, collected, used, retained, and shared for cyber security reasons only.
