Homeland Security Committee of the House debates revisions to the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act
The House Homeland Security Committee has taken a significant step in reauthorizing and reforming the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015. The bill, which expires at the end of this month, aims to extend the law for another 10 years and update it to account for advances in artificial intelligence.
In line with this, the Department of Homeland Security has been tasked with improving its outreach on emerging cyber threats. This move is expected to enhance the agency's ability to combat cyber threats effectively.
Notable changes are also happening within the Army. The Command Assessment Program, which incorporated peer and subordinate feedback, psychological screenings, physical fitness tests, and written exercises to evaluate leaders, has been cancelled. The Army is also shutting down its data and analytics platforms office, known as ARDAP, which was launched in 2020 to accelerate decision-making by providing near real-time access to command and logistics data.
On a positive note, agencies that provide public-facing services are setting new targets for improved service to the public. This includes the General Services Administration, which has inked two more deals to cut the price of licenses for popular software titles, including ServiceNow and Microsoft.
Meanwhile, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has seen a change in leadership. Nick Anderson has been named the new executive assistant director of CISA's cybersecurity division, a role he assumed in July 2025.
Lastly, the Office of Personnel Management is developing a special salary rate for law enforcement officers. This move is expected to give bigger pay boosts for positions like Border Patrol and ICE agents.
These changes reflect the ongoing efforts by government agencies to adapt and improve their operations, particularly in the face of evolving cyber threats and the need for efficient service delivery.
