Bill 118 s 3635, also known as the Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity Competition Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to establish a competition focused on industrial control systems cybersecurity.
Industrial control systems are used to manage and control critical infrastructure such as power plants, water treatment facilities, and transportation systems. These systems are increasingly becoming targets for cyber attacks, which can have serious consequences for public safety and national security.
The competition established by this bill would bring together students, professionals, and experts in the field of cybersecurity to develop and test their skills in protecting industrial control systems from cyber threats. The competition would be overseen by the Department of Homeland Security and would aim to improve the overall cybersecurity posture of critical infrastructure in the United States.
Overall, the Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity Competition Act seeks to address the growing threat of cyber attacks on critical infrastructure by promoting collaboration and innovation in the field of industrial control systems cybersecurity.
