RE: [cti] US Cybersecurity Act of 2015

Hard to process everything at once, but I appreciate this bit:

(g) AUTOMATED INFORMATION SHARING.— (1) IN GENERAL.—The Under Secretary appointed under section 103(a)(1)(H), in coordination with industry and other stakeholders, shall develop capabilities making use of existing information technology industry standards and best practices, as appropriate, that support and rapidly advance the development, adoption, and implementation of automated mechanisms for the sharing of cyber threat indicators and defensive measures in accordance with title I of the Cybersecurity Act of 2015.

Thanks,

Alex

Yeah. Hanging the conference committees version of the previously passed house /senate bills on the the legislative Christmas tree' that is the Omnibus is a high percentage way of making it law. Finally....

It will not be definitive until tomorrow, but
it appears as if the Cybersecurity Act of 2015
may actually become U.S. law. It is embedded
in the government funding bill to "assist" its
passage. The provisions are buried in that
bill. An extract is provided here.

It has a *very* significant nexus to CTI work
- resonating in a positive way with the activities
of CTI.
