SIFMA Issues Statement on Cybersecurity Legislation

SIFMA issued a statement, in response to the 9/11 Commission Report, that identified cybersecurity as a key area of focus for U.S. security and recommended that Congress enact legislation to enable private companies to collaborate with the government in countering cyber threats.

According to SIFMA, a robust public-private partnership is the most effective way to prevent and defend against cyber attacks. SIFMA urged Congress to take action on the bipartisan information-sharing legislation pending in the Senate, which would provide important liability protections and enhanced coordination.
