In 2015, the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) marked a significant step in U.S. national security. CISA encouraged businesses and the federal government to share cyber threat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/unleashing-potential-wilmu-s-cyber-wildcats-hone-cybersecurity-skills\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"29472\">information<\/a> in an effort to prevent or respond to potential cyberattacks.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to 2021, and the law is on the brink of expiration. This brings us to the recent news of Senators Gary Peters and Mike Rounds aiming to renew this crucial legislation.
