CISA's Ticking Clock – Congress Races to Extend Cyber Defense
As the September 30, 2025, deadline nears for the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), experts warn its expiration could weaken defenses by reducing threat intelligence sharing, risking hacker exploitation. The House has advanced a revised bill, Wimwag, extending protections to 2035 with updated threats and privacy safeguards. Senate Chair Rand Paul’s push to prevent alleged censorship adds hurdles, while leaders stress collaboration benefits despite critiques of slow intel delivery, calling for better trust in partnerships.
