Are There Other Similar Bills In The Works?

There are two. The Cyber Threat Sharing Act, which is still in committee, also facilitates the sharing of information between the public and private sectors, with the difference being that more emphasis is placed behind the DHS for facilitating the data and includes limits on how the data is used. The Protecting Cyber Networks Act has been passed by the House, but not the Senate, and also includes provisions for cyberthreat data sharing. However, it prevents that data from being shared with the Department of Defense (which oversees the NSA).

Congress has failed to pass a similar bill, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, three times.
