Summary:

Cybersecurity considerations for policymakers are broader than those for managing cybersecurity at an organization. When thinking strategically about how to legislate for cybersecurity, lawmakers may consider educating, recruiting, and retaining knowledgeable workers; authorizing and resourcing agencies; deterring and responding to threats; securing international supply chains; and understanding the resiliency of individual companies and sectors. This In Focus discusses key cybersecurity threats and impacts, how Congress has addressed cyber risk, and some general actions policymakers may consider in the future.
