Landsman Passes Second Bipartisan Bill to Protect Americans from Cyberattacks

Cincinnati, OH – Today, Congressman Greg Landsman (D-OH-01) announced his bipartisan legislation to protect Americans from cyberattacks and foreign surveillance has passed the U.S. House of Representatives.

In February, Congressman Landsman and Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-FL) introduced H.R.1709 – the Understanding Cybersecurity of Mobile Networks Act – legislation that directs the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to examine the cybersecurity of mobile networks and devices in the United States, and report to Congress how vulnerable they are to cyberattacks and surveillance by foreign adversaries.

The report to Congress will include critical information on how to better protect America’s communications systems – a key component of safeguarding national security.

The Understanding Cybersecurity of Mobile Networks Act passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee in a bipartisan vote in March.

Congressman Landsman:

“Our foreign adversaries are actively working to divide us. This bipartisan bill will have a huge impact on strengthening our defenses against growing cybersecurity threats. Congress needs the tools and information to stop these cyberattacks and protect Americans from foreign surveillance.”
