Americans have unfortunately become all too familiar with the constant threat to their personal information from hackers. As the recent attacks on Target, Anthem Blue Cross and Sony illustrate, cybersecurity threats come from both here and abroad, and Americans’ most sensitive data is the target. Last week, I introduced a bipartisan bill aimed at addressing this threat: the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (S.754).
I’m proud of the Committee’s work and the quality of this bill. Our goal is to minimize a growing threat to the United States and also ensure that our citizens’ personal data remains private and secure. You can read more about the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act here and the full legislative text is here.
Last week I joined Tim Boyum on Capital Tonight to discuss everything from the letter to Iran and to my new cybersecurity legislation. Watch by clicking below.

I also discussed my veterans homelessness legislation that I introduced with Senator Manchin last week. Click below to watch. If you’re interested in more information about the legislation, please click here.

Have you seen my redesigned Senate website? It is now fully integrated with social media, features online form submission and is an efficient platform for constituents to engage with my offices both in Washington and across North Carolina. It has information about pending legislation, issue areas critical to North Carolinians, and important press updates in a modern, easier to use format. It also includes information on how constituents can receive help from my office. Check it out yourself!
Sincerely,
Richard Burr
