ITI Commends Cyber Incident Reporting in U.S. Congress Omnibus Spending Bill
WASHINGTON – Today, global tech trade association ITI released the following statement from Mike Flynn, ITI’s Senior Director of Government Affairs, commending U.S. Congressional passage of cyber incident reporting legislation in the omnibus spending bill:
“Given the rapidly evolving threat landscape, a modern approach to cybersecurity that reflects this reality is essential. We commend the U.S. Congress for prioritizing meaningful reforms to bolster U.S. cybersecurity in the omnibus spending bill. Specifically, we welcome lawmakers’ efforts to enhance cybersecurity incident reporting, which can play an important role in informing actions to respond to incidents and to contain or prevent further impacts, and to allocate key investments to ensure the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has the resources needed to effectively carry out this regime. We particularly applaud Congress for setting a reasonable reporting timeline. We look forward to working with the U.S. government to advance these critical measures in the U.S. as well as collaborating with global policymakers to align effective and consistent cyber incident reporting regimes around the world.”
