\nThe White House is pressing Congress to extend a key cybersecurity authority that is poised to expire later this year unless renewed, a top official said Thursday.The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 temporarily expired during the 43-day government shutdown that occurred late last year, but lawmakers ultimately extended it as part of the stopgap funding bill that ended that lapse. The government funding package signed into law in early February 2026 included a provision that prolonged the statute through September 2026.\u00a0Speaking at the Special Competitive Studies Project\u2019s AI+ Expo event in Washington, D.C., National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross said the Trump administration is \u201cpushing for a long-term reauthorization\u201d of the law.\u00a0\u201cI expect that, on the Hill, the right thing will be done over the course of time, and we will get there,\u201d Cairncross said.The measure allows private sector firms to freely transmit threat intelligence to federal partners with key legal exemptions in place. Legal carve-outs were made a core feature of the original 2015 law because cyber threat information often contains sensitive data on victims and companies. To help the U.S. trace nation-state cyber intruders and criminal hackers, those datasets often need to be shared with government cybersecurity and intelligence analysts.The White House\u2019s national cybersecurity strategy, which was released in March, called for enhancing communication between the public and private sectors to deter cyber threats. The same document also said the Trump administration was pursuing more offensive cyber operations against bad actors, including moving to \u201cunleash the private sector by creating incentives to identify and disrupt adversary networks and scale our national capabilities.\u201dCairncross said part of that overall effort includes \u201cworking on new ways to share information between the private sector and the [U.S. government] that\u2019s actionable, that’s fast and in both directions\u201d \u2014 including through the Cybersecurity and Information Sharing Act of 2015.\u00a0The national cyber director has previously pushed for a clean extension of the law, but his comments show the Trump administration is vying to prevent its lapse for a significant time period.\u00a0In the early 2010s, legislative efforts to establish a cyber threat information-sharing framework faced major hurdles amid public skepticism over government privacy abuses following Edward Snowden\u2019s 2013 global surveillance disclosures.\u00a0The view shifted after the Office of Personnel Management suffered a massive data breach in 2015, compromising the personal information of over 21 million current and former federal employees, which galvanized support for the law as it stands today.<\/p>\n
