A discussion draft is currently circulating in the House for the “National Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection Act of 2013,” which concerns on the authorities of the Department of Homeland Security. The bill, which appears to both substantially overlap with and complement CISPA, would:
• Formalize the National Cybersecurity Communications and Integration Center to ensure all sectors are represented
• Determine critical infrastructure sectors and sector specific agencies
• Designated Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) for each sector
• Designate Sector Coordinating Councils for each sector
• Provide good faith liability protection for sharing within ISACs and the NCCIC
