Reps. Mary Bono Mack (R-CA) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) introduced industry-friendly cybersecurity legislation that mirrors a bill championed by Republicans in the Senate.
The proposals are a response to White House-backed cybersecurity legislation that Republicans say relies too heavily on government regulation. The bill would help companies and the government share information with each other; provides liability protection for companies that seek to secure their networks; and increase criminal penalties for cybercrime.
