Gauthem Nagash wrote for The Hill on Rep. Roger's Cyber Espionage Bill. The article noted that Republicans prefer to structure cybersecurity legislation around incentivizing network security improvements. On the other hand, the Democrat sponsored bill in the Senate favors the regulation of cybersecurity through DHS.
The article further explained that Rogers' bill will "promote sharing of threat intelligence by the government to the private sector and will provide positive authority for the private sector to protect itself and share threat information, all without any new government regulations or mandates on industry."
