Strengthening US Critical Infrastructure Cyber Defenses Against State-Sponsored Threats.

This Act establishes a specialized interagency task force dedicated to protecting essential US systems—such as power grids, transportation, and banking—from cyberattacks sponsored by foreign states, particularly China's Volt Typhoon group. This effort aims to ensure the stability and security of services citizens rely on daily, minimizing the risk of major failures and disruptions to everyday life and the economy. These measures enhance the nation's overall security and resilience against cyber threats.
Key points
Creation of a joint task force (CISA, FBI) to coordinate federal defense against cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure.
Increased security for public and private essential services (e.g., power, water, communications), protecting citizens from widespread disruption.
Mandate for regular reports to Congress on threats and vulnerabilities, with unclassified summaries made public online.
