[国会记录:2011年2月16日(参议院)] [第S796-S797]报表ON提出的法案和联合决议案通过皮尔卡丹先生(为自己和豪斯先生):S. 372.法案的恐怖分子,间谍的能力,犯罪分子和其他恶意行为者妥协,破坏,损坏,并摧毁计算机网络,重要基础设施和关键资源,以及用于其他目的;对商务,科学和运输委员会。皮尔卡丹先生。主席先生,互联网已通过增强之间,而且不论其位置的人之间的通信,商业,教育和社会上的数百万美国人的日常生活产生深远的影响。在国际上,我们已经看到了互联网的变革力量在埃及这样的地方。自由开放的互联网给了力量和声音,全世界人民,并应免受审查和其他形式的抑制得到保护。但互联网和那些谁跨网络空间从事通信和商业必须是安全的 - 从像罪犯,恐怖分子和间谍谁希望利用或妥协的信息和系统连接到互联网大鳄的保护。我们的国家很容易受到这种攻击,但与私营部门合作,在合作中,我们可以发现,保持信息的自由流动,同时保持我们免受伤害所有安全的平衡。我一直专注于网络安全问题相当长的一段时间。金博宝正规网址一年多前,作为司法委员会的反恐和国土安全小组委员会的前主席,我主持了一个小组委员会听证名为``网络安全:防止恐怖袭击和在网络空间保护隐私'的听证会包括来自关键的联邦证人 agencies responsible for cybersecurity, as well as representatives of the private sector. We reviewed governmental and private sector efforts to prevent a terrorist cyber attack that could cripple large sectors of our government, economy, and essential services. The cybersecurity expertise that I have developed has convinced me that the Government and the private sector can and should work together to protect the American people in cyberspace. As a result, I am reintroducing the Cybersecurity and Internet Safety Standards Act, CISSA. This bill, which is cosponsored by Senator Whitehouse, will require the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Director of National Intelligence, to conduct an analysis to determine the costs and benefits of requiring internet service providers and others to develop and enforce minimum voluntary or mandatory cybersecurity and Internet safety standards. Under this bill, the Secretary of Homeland Security will be required to report to Congress within one year with specific recommendations. Cybersecurity must be a top priority. This bill will help secure our nation's digital future by keeping the American people and our cyber infrastructure safe without hampering the freedoms inherently found in an open and accessible Internet. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: S. 372 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Cybersecurity and Internet Safety Standards Act''. SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS. In this Act: (1) Computers.--Except as otherwise specifically provided, the term ``computers'' means computers and other devices that connect to the Internet. (2) Providers.--The term ``providers'' means Internet service providers, communications service providers, electronic messaging providers, electronic mail providers, and other persons who provide a service or capability to enable computers to connect to the Internet. (3) Secretary.--Except as otherwise specifically provided, the term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary of Homeland Security. SEC. 3. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) While the Internet has had a profound impact on the daily lives of the people of the United States by enhancing communications, commerce, education, and socialization between and among persons regardless of their location, computers may be used, exploited, and compromised by terrorists, criminals, spies, and other malicious actors, and, therefore, computers pose a risk to computer networks, critical infrastructure, and [[Page S797]] key resources in the United States. Indeed, users of computers are generally unaware that their computers may be used, exploited, and compromised by others with spam, viruses, and other malicious software and agents. (2) Since computer networks, critical infrastructure, and key resources of the United States are at risk of being compromised, disrupted, damaged, or destroyed by terrorists, criminals, spies, and other malicious actors who use computers, cybersecurity and Internet safety is an urgent homeland security issue that needs to be addressed by providers, technology companies, and persons who use computers. (3) The Government and the private sector need to work together to develop and enforce minimum voluntary or mandatory cybersecurity and Internet safety standards for users of computers to prevent terrorists, criminals, spies, and other malicious actors from compromising, disrupting, damaging, or destroying the computer networks, critical infrastructure, and key resources of the United States. SEC. 4. COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS. (a) Requirement for Analysis.--The Secretary, in consultation with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Director of National Intelligence, shall conduct an analysis to determine the costs and benefits of requiring providers to develop and enforce voluntary or mandatory minimum cybersecurity and Internet safety standards for users of computers to prevent terrorists, criminals, spies, and other malicious actors from compromising, disrupting, damaging, or destroying computer networks, critical infrastructure, and key resources. (b) Factors.--In conducting the analysis required by subsection (a), the Secretary shall consider-- (1) all relevant factors, including the effect that the development and enforcement of minimum voluntary or mandatory cybersecurity and Internet safety standards may have on homeland security, the global economy, innovation, individual liberty, and privacy; and (2) any legal impediments that may exist to the implementation of such standards. SEC. 5. CONSULTATION. In conducting the analysis required by section 4, the Secretary shall consult with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Commerce, the Director of National Intelligence, the Federal Communications Commission, and relevant stakeholders in the Government and the private sector, including the academic community, groups, or other institutions, that have scientific and technical expertise related to standards for computer networks, critical infrastructure, or key resources. SEC. 6. REPORT. (a) In General.--Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a final report on the results of the analysis required by section 4. Such report shall include the consensus recommendations, if any, for minimum voluntary or mandatory cybersecurity and Internet safety standards that should be developed and enforced for users of computers to prevent terrorists, criminals, spies, and other malicious actors from compromising, disrupting, damaging, or destroying computer networks, critical infrastructure, and key resources. (b) Appropriate Committees of Congress.--In this section, the term ``appropriate committees of Congress'' means-- (1) the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate; and (2) the Committee on Energy and Commerce, the Committee on Homeland Security, the Committee on the Judiciary, and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives. ______
