Risk Management (1/29/2026)
The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (CISA 2015) was enacted to provide procedures and liability protections for the voluntary sharing of cybersecurity threat information between businesses and the federal government. Although the law briefly expired on Oct. 1, a new funding bill proposed on January 20 seeks to extend protections through September. However, the recurring threat of a lapse and the recent history of actual expiration proves that statutory safe harbor is a fragile foundation for an enterprise security strategy, and risk leaders need to address new legal and operational challenges.
