Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA)

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) is a U.S. law aimed at enhancing cybersecurity by allowing businesses and government agencies to share information about cyber threats. It encourages companies to report suspicious online activities or breaches to the federal government, which can then analyze and act on this information to protect national security and critical infrastructure. While it aims to improve safety against cyber attacks, CISPA has faced criticism for potential privacy concerns, as it may allow the government to access personal data under the guise of cybersecurity.
