Summary

Hide ▲

US Congress let CISA 2015 lapse, ending liability protections for companies that share cyber threat intelligence and creating new risk around AIS participation. The expiration leaves businesses exposed to potential lawsuits and could slow threat-data sharing that helps defend against cyber-attacks. Renewing the law remains uncertain after the funding standoff.
