HR 9762 United States House · 118th Congress

DHS International Cyber Partner Act of 2024

The DHS International Cyber Partner Act of 2024 authorizes the Department of Homeland Security to assign personnel overseas and provide cybersecurity assistance to foreign governments, international organizations, and entities. This includes defensive tools, training, and technical support (but excludes offensive capabilities), requiring approval from the State Department and the foreign country's chief of mission before deployment or aid. The bill mandates annual congressional reporting on all assistance activities and agreements, while specifying no new funding is provided for these programs. It directly affects DHS operations and international cybersecurity partnerships without altering existing diplomatic authority.
