What is the purpose of the Private Sector Information Sharing Act of 2015?

The purpose of the Private Sector Information Sharing Act of 2015 (also known as the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act or CISA) is to encourage and facilitate the sharing of cyber threat information between private sector entities and the federal government. The Act provides liability protections for companies that voluntarily share cyber threat indicators with the government, and it establishes procedures for the government to receive, analyze, and disseminate this information to other private sector entities and government agencies. CISA aims to improve cybersecurity by increasing the volume and speed of cyber threat information sharing, enabling organizations to better protect themselves from cyberattacks and improve overall cybersecurity posture. It's designed to create a more collaborative environment where private and public sectors work together to defend against cyber threats.
