Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
Requires a CISA-led interagency task force, with the FBI as vice chair, to coordinate the federal response to state-sponsored cyber threats from the People's Republic of China, including Volt Typhoon, and to produce recurring public and classified assessments, recommendations, and an awareness-campaign plan focused on United States critical infrastructure.
Who Benefits and How
Critical-infrastructure owners and federal security planners could benefit from more coordinated cross-agency analysis of PRC cyber threats, clearer risk assessments, and recommendations for mitigation and awareness.
Who Bears the Burden and How
CISA, the FBI, and sector risk management agencies must staff and run the task force, prepare an initial report and then annual reports, and support planning around infrastructure disruption and owner-operator outreach.
Key Provisions
- Requires establishment of a joint interagency task force within 120 days, chaired by CISA and vice chaired by the FBI, to coordinate against PRC state-sponsored cyber actors including Volt Typhoon.
- Directs the task force to include subject matter experts and permits coordination with preexisting homeland security or intelligence efforts to avoid redundancy.
- Requires an initial report within 540 days of task-force establishment and annual reports thereafter for five years.
- Requires the reports to cover sector-specific risks, resource and authority needs, classified wartime disruption and mobility assessments, economic and social ramifications, recommendations, and a one-time owner-operator awareness-campaign plan.
