History

Historical Context

The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) was signed into law by President Barack Obama on December 18, 2015, in response to a surge in cybercrime, which the FBI reported had increased by 300% since 2013. This legislation facilitates information sharing between the government and private sector, addressing vulnerabilities exposed by major breaches at companies like Target and Anthem, and shaping current cybersecurity strategies.
