TIA CEO Scott Belcher issued the following statement:
“Protecting our nation’s critical infrastructure from cyber attacks must be a priority – our national and economic security depends on it. The legislation passed by the Senate today bolsters our cyber defenses by providing the liability protections needed to encourage the voluntary sharing of cyber threat information.
