New US Bill Wants to Assign State Cybersecurity Coordinators

Four U.S. Senators have introduced a bipartisan bill that will require the Department of Homeland Security to appoint cybersecurity effort coordinators in every state to orchestrate cyberattack response and remediation efforts. Cybersecurity state coordinators will have to ensure that local, state, and federal entities collaborate and share resources during cybersecurity threat prevention and response processes. The Cybersecurity State Coordinator Act of 2020 bill was introduced by Senators Margaret Hassan, John Cornyn, Rob Portman (R-OH), Gary Peters (D-MI) and Gary Peters on January 16, 2020. Senator Hassan introduced another bill on January 31, 2019, to authorize DHS cyber hunt and incident response teams.
