Cyber Vulnerability Disclosure Reporting Act

Bill 118 hr 280, also known as the Cyber Vulnerability Disclosure Reporting Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to establish a framework for the reporting and disclosure of cyber vulnerabilities by federal agencies.

Under this bill, federal agencies would be required to report any cyber vulnerabilities they discover to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) within a certain timeframe. The DHS would then be responsible for coordinating with the affected agencies to address and mitigate these vulnerabilities.

Additionally, the bill aims to promote transparency and accountability by requiring the DHS to submit an annual report to Congress detailing the number of vulnerabilities reported, the actions taken to address them, and any challenges faced in the process. Overall, the Cyber Vulnerability Disclosure Reporting Act seeks to improve the cybersecurity posture of federal agencies by ensuring timely reporting and mitigation of cyber vulnerabilities. It also aims to enhance collaboration and information sharing between agencies and the DHS to better protect government systems and data from cyber threats.
