Cybersecurity Legislation Near
On Nov. 15, the U.S. Senate declined to approve S. 3414, the Cybersecurity Act of 2012. The proposed legislation would have set voluntary cybersecurity standards for owners of the nation's critical infrastructure, such as gas pipelines, utilities and banks. In the absence of cybersecurity legislation, the Obama administration now is considering taking action through an executive order.
