Reps. John Katko (R-NY-24) and Abigail Spanberger (D-VA-07) have introduced the Securing Systemically Important Critical Infrastructure Act to protect systemically important critical infrastructure (SICI) from cyberattacks.
The representatives say the bill helps establish a transparent process for designating SICI and directs the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to prioritize meaningful benefits to SICI owners and operators.
“Our bipartisan bill would help us identify the critical infrastructure that is particularly foundational and systemically important to our economy and national security, and it would help prioritize protecting these systemically important systems from the serious consequences cyberattacks can have on public safety and health, as well as on our supply chains,” Spanberger said.
