On Sept 30., crucial authorities in the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015, which underpin a broad array of cyber defense activities, will expire. @cyallianceprez.bsky.social explains the necessity of congressional reauthorization and how the statute could be updated.
The Case for Reauthorizing CISA 2015
Congressional failure to reauthorize the cyber information sharing statute would deal a considerable blow to cybersecurity efforts.

I continue to support Federal employees toughing it out and sticking with their mission. Unlike the power going out, the disappearance of Federal programs will take time to manifest. That's why the government needs better narratives.
