White House sides with Congress over contentious cyber bill

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The White House has endorsed a cyber bill that has divided members of the Biden administration and Senate lawmakers.

National Security Council spokesperson Emily Horne told The Hill in a statement that "the administration supports final passage of Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 and appreciates Congress's bipartisan work to draft the legislation."

The bill, which unanimously passed in the Senate on Tuesday as part of a wider cybersecurity legislation package, would require companies in critical sectors to report cyberattacks and ransomware to the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

"This legislation is a part of the administration's comprehensive effort to modernize America's cyber defenses and complements the President's efforts to improve cybersecurity," Horne added.
