CISA 2015 Cyber Threat Info-Sharing Law Lapses Amid Government Shutdown
CSO Online, Wednesday, October 1st, 2025
The expiration of a landmark cybersecurity law strips liability protections for cyber threat information sharing, leaving US cyber defenses weaker until lawmakers act.
Ten years ago, Congress passed a major cybersecurity bill called the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (CISA 2015) to empower the federal government to collect and disseminate threat information, while allowing private sector entities to voluntarily share that information with the government and among themselves, protected from adverse legal or regulatory ramifications.
