Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) Thursday (Nov. 21) will introduce the Cybersecurity Act of 2013. The act passed out of the Senate Commerce Committee unanimously in July and will now be attached as an amendment to the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act--the Defense Department's budget bill--with the blessing of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
The bill is supported by a number of industry groups, including the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, CTIA, and US Telecom.
When the bill was introduced, NCTA praised that fact that while putting the National Institute of Standards and Technology's in charge of developing cybersecurity standards for government and industry data protection, the bill also makes clear those standards are voluntary.
The bill also "supports cutting edge research, increases public awareness, and improves [the] workforce to better address cyber threats."
