WASHINGTON — Business Software Alliance Senior Director of Policy Henry Young issued the following statement urging Congress to advance measures to restore a critical cybersecurity information-sharing program.

“The Business Software Alliance urges Congress to take immediate action that restores the sharing of critical cybersecurity information as first enabled by the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, which supports the United States’ ability to most effectively defend against malicious actors. Further delays in renewing this program will only serve to entrench information-sharing silos between government and industry and needlessly set back United States' overall cybersecurity posture.”

BSA recently joined with other industry organizations urging reauthorization of the program.
