Industry Is Balking At Cybersecurity Legislation

Industry is balking at cybersecurity legislation developing in the Senate.

In the bill, critical means interruption could threaten life, national security or the economy. Homeland Security, with input from business, would select which companies to regulate. Some operators feel the bill goes too far. It's expected out of committee within a few weeks.
