Fiorina urges Congress to pass cyberbill

Published August 24, 2015 5:28pm ET



Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina has called on Congress to pass the controversial Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, suggesting that “collaboration” between the federal government and private companies would help prevent cyberattacks.

“There is a level of collaboration that’s required between the private sector and the public sector to detect and repel attacks,” Fiorina said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “That requires an act of Congress. There is a bill that’s been languishing, frankly, in Congress for several years now. We need to get that bill passed so that level of collaboration is possible.”
