Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act

This bill establishes a federal task force led by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI to coordinate responses against cyber threats from the People's Republic of China targeting U.S. critical infrastructure, specifically referencing state-sponsored actors like Volt Typhoon. The task force must produce an initial report within 540 days and annual reports for five years, assessing risks, needed resources, and potential disruptions to infrastructure in a conflict, including classified evaluations of threats to energy, transportation, and military operations. These reports will include recommendations for improving cybersecurity defenses and a public awareness campaign to help critical infrastructure owners (such as utility companies and transportation systems) access federal security resources. The task force will operate under exemptions from certain federal advisory and paperwork laws to streamline coordination.
