H.R. 2659: Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act
Sponsor
Andrew Ogles
Republican · TN-5
What H.R. 2659 does
H.R. 2659 would create a joint task force of federal agencies to respond to cyberattacks by Chinese state-sponsored hackers, including the group known as Volt Typhoon. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency would set up and lead it, and it would coordinate agencies such as the Departments of Defense, Energy and Agriculture so their actions line up.
The task force would report to Congress each year for six years on the threat and on ways to detect and reduce it. The first report would be due no later than 540 days after the task force is established.
