SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Cyber Security Public Awareness Act 
of 2011''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    (a) Congress finds the following:
            (1) Information technology is central to the effectiveness, 
        efficiency, and reliability of the industry and commercial 
        services, Armed Forces and national security systems, and the 
        critical infrastructure of the United States.
            (2) Cyber criminals, terrorists, and agents of foreign 
        powers have taken advantage of the connectivity of the United 
        States to inflict substantial damage to the economic and 
        national security interests of the Nation.
            (3) The cyber security threat is sophisticated, relentless, 
        and massive, exposing all consumers in the United States to the 
        risk of substantial harm.
            (4) Businesses in the United States are bearing enormous 
        losses as a result of criminal cyber attacks, depriving 
        businesses of hard-earned profits that could be reinvested in 
        further job-producing innovation.
            (5) Hackers continuously probe the networks of Federal and 
        State agencies, the Armed Forces, and the commercial industrial 
        base of the Armed Forces, and already have caused substantial 
        damage and compromised sensitive and classified information.
            (6) Severe cyber security threats will continue, and will 
        likely grow, as the economy of the United States grows more 
        connected, criminals become increasingly sophisticated in 
        efforts to steal from consumers, industries, and businesses in 
        the United States, and terrorists and foreign nations continue 
        to use cyberspace as a means of attack against the national and 
        economic security of the United States.
            (7) Public awareness of cyber security threats is essential 
        to cyber security defense. Only a well-informed public and 
        Congress can make the decisions necessary to protect consumers, 
        industries, and the national and economic security of the 
        United States.
            (8) As of 2011, the level of public awareness of cyber 
        security threats is unacceptably low. Only a tiny portion of 
        relevant cyber security information is released to the public. 
        Information about attacks on Federal Government systems is 
        usually classified. Information about attacks on private 
        systems is ordinarily kept confidential. Sufficient mechanisms 
        do not exist to provide meaningful threat reports to the public 
        in unclassified and anonymized form.
