What this bill would do
The "Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act" aims to protect United States critical infrastructure from cyber threats. It establishes an interagency task force to facilitate coordination among various federal agencies. This task force focuses on detecting, analyzing, and responding to threats from People's Republic of China state-sponsored cyber actors, such as Volt Typhoon. The bill requires the task force to submit an initial report and subsequent annual reports for five years to appropriate congressional committees. These reports will include assessments of risks, potential disruptions, and recommendations for mitigation. Finally, the act provides for the publication of unclassified executive summaries of these reports.
