From ransomware to attacks against critical infrastructure and persistent economic and industrial espionage, the United States faces ongoing and growing cybersecurity challenges. Managing these risks will require the federal government to work with the private sector, state and local governments, and all of its partners on the front lines of the cyber conflict.

In 2015, Congress passed and President Obama signed into law the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015, which established new legal arthritis for voluntary information sharing about cybersecurity threats between the federal government and the private sector.

With a new Congress and administration soon arriving in Washington, national policymakers should study the state of cybersecurity information sharing and assess whether new reforms are needed. The bipartisan Cyberspace Solarium Commission, for example, has recommended new measures to improve and enhance cybersecurity information sharing.

On December 17th at 2 pm ET, Lincoln Network will host a virtual panel discussion with the following cybersecurity experts to consider this question.
