Call Congress

Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 has been instrumental in fostering voluntary information sharing and collaboration between industry leaders and federal agencies

October 1, 2025 U.S. Senator Gary Peters (D-MI), Ranking Member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, called on his colleagues to immediately pass a bipartisan, clean, long-term extension of Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015

to renew the authorities and protect our nation against cyberattacks.

Senator Peters raised concerns about how the expiration of these protections makes our nation more vulnerable to cyberattacks from cybercriminals and foreign adversaries,

“Yesterday, I came to the floor to warn that critical cybersecurity protections that have been in place for a decade were set to run out,” said Senator Peters.

“Unfortunately, one of my colleagues objected, and as of midnight they have now expired.

As a result, we are without this critical line of defense. Our economy, our infrastructure, and our government are exposed. It is now going to be more challenging.... at a time when our adversaries’ attacks continue to grow more aggressive and more sophisticated.”

In April, Peters and U.S. Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) introduced a bipartisan bill to reauthorize the cybersecurity law for another ten years. Officials from the Trump Administration and more than 100 companies and industry stakeholders support extending these cybersecurity protections for 10 more years
