Study on private company cyber-attack response options

This act requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to study the possibility of allowing private companies to take proportional actions in response to unlawful network breaches. The goal is to assess the benefits and risks of such changes, which could impact citizens' data security and privacy in the future.
Key points
The study will assess if private companies should be allowed to respond to cyberattacks themselves.
The study report will include recommendations on oversight, attacker identification, and permissible actions.
The study's findings could influence future digital security and citizen data protection laws.
