McCaul (R-TX) Amendment No. 13
• The amendment directs the federal government to conduct cybersecurity activities in a real time, coordinated and integrated way so that there is shared situational awareness across agencies to protect the Nation from cyber threats.
• This amendment would designate an entity within the Department of Homeland Security as the civilian Federal entity to receive cyber threat information from the private sector. This is an important improvement and provides an additional layer of review of information-sharing procedures by a robust civilian privacy office in order to ensure American's civil liberties are protected.
• Additionally, another important improvement to the underlying bill by way of this amendment is designating an entity within the Department of Justice as the civilian Federal entity to receive cyber threat information related to cyber crimes.
