Update on the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act

The Cipher Brief reported on the controversial Senate bill in September, with several experts weighing in on the pros and cons of the legislation. Despite the passage of both time and the bill itself, the controversy remains effectively the same.

“The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
