Senate cybersecurity bill sparking concerns about government control

A comprehensive cybersecurity bill set for a vote in the Senate this week is drawing some late concern from the tech industry that could threaten several years of legislative work.

The bill has not been released publicly, but according to sources familiar with its content it takes a light touch approach to regulating network security at firms deemed part of the nation's critical infrastructure. But at least one IT firm is raising flags about the amount of control it gives the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over federal contractors whose security precautions are found lacking.
