Requires a review of the nation's main cyber agency to better protect online systems.

This bill would require the nation's main cyber agency, CISA, to check its staff and resources. This is to make sure it can protect government computer systems and key infrastructure from online attacks. The review would find any missing pieces and suggest ways to improve things for Congress.

What Would Change

Today, CISA operates without a specific law requiring a comprehensive review of its staff and resources across all its mission areas. This means there isn't a mandated, detailed look at its current capabilities versus what it needs. If this bill becomes law, CISA would be required to conduct a thorough assessment of its ability to fulfill its mission, including its personnel, training, and resources. It would then provide a report with recommendations to Congress within one year.

Key Provisions

Requires the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to review its ability to protect against cyber threats.

Requires the review to check if CISA staff have the right training and certifications.

Requires the assessment to examine CISA's role in securing critical infrastructure and dealing with new technologies like artificial intelligence.
Requires CISA to talk with other federal agencies and state and local governments during the assessment.
