NCTA Praises Committee Package of Cybersecurity Bill

New America’s Open Technology Institute was not as pleased, saying the bill falls far short of protecting privacy. “We are gravely disappointed by the Senate Intelligence Committee’s failure to add any significant new privacy protections to the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act," said Robyn Greene, policy counsel at the Open Technology Institute. "Most of the changes the Committee made when approving the bill last week are cosmetic, such that the final bill—like the draft bill before it—does more to authorize cyber-surveillance than to protect cybersecurity."
