Industry expects to see compromise Senate cybersecurity framework soon

Industry groups are expecting to see the latest version of the cybersecurity compromise framework from Sens. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) in the coming days.

A staff prepared draft of the framework released last month received poor reviews by some business groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Information Technology Industry Council, which saw it as too regulatory. The compromise’s chances of breaking the stalemate on cybersecurity legislation in the upper chamber could be put in jeopardy if the updated version receives another round of criticism from powerful industry groups.
