This bill, titled the "Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act," aims to bolster the security and integrity of United States critical infrastructure. It mandates the establishment of a joint interagency task force within 120 days of enactment, led by the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) with the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as vice-chair. This task force will facilitate collaboration and coordination among Sector Risk Management Agencies to detect, analyze, and respond to cybersecurity threats posed by state-sponsored cyber actors from the People's Republic of China, specifically mentioning Volt Typhoon. The task force is required to submit an initial report to appropriate congressional committees within 540 days of its establishment, followed by annual reports for five years. These reports must include assessments of sector-specific risks, trends, and tactics used by Chinese state-sponsored cyber actors, as well as an evaluation of additional resources and authorities needed by federal agencies. Crucially, the reports will also feature classified assessments on the potential for destruction or disruption of U.S. critical infrastructure during a major crisis or conflict, including impacts on military operations and economic ramifications. Furthermore, the task force must provide recommendations for improving threat detection and mitigation, and develop a plan for an awareness campaign to inform critical infrastructure owners and operators about available federal security resources.
