NSA chief wants cyber bill to fight hackers

Admiral Michael Rogers, head of the National Security Agency, wants lawmakers to pass a cybersecurity bill to help federal officials go after hackers.

“I think it's a very important first step,” Adm Michael Rogers said. “In the end, the key to our ability to be effective, I believe, as a nation in cyber, will be our ability to span the divide between the private sector and the public sector or the government.” The bill introduced by Rep Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) would make it easier for private companies to share information about possible hackers and lines of attack with each other and the government. Backers say it's a critical step to ensure there are no blind spots on the country's networks.
