S.2602

Federal SB2602 expands the scope of cyber operations authority to include defense of critical Department of Defense infrastructure.

Federal SB2602 amends title 10, United States Code, to expand the scope of affirmation of authority for cyber operations. This includes the defense of critical infrastructure of the Department of Defense. The bill also amends the definition of "critical infrastructure of the Department of Defense" to mean any asset of such importance that its cyber attack-induced incapacitation or destruction would severely hinder the Department's mission fulfillment.
