Cyberterror Bill Keeps Company Secrets
The "Cyber Security Information Act," to be announced
Wednesday, would keep vulnerability information away from
the public. By Kevin Poulsen April 11, 2000 3:27 PM PST
Sensitive information about computer network vulnerabilities
and intrusions transferred from the private sector to the
federal government would be shielded from public disclosure,
under a bill set to be announced Wednesday by
Representatives Tom Davis (R-Va.) and Jim Moran (D-Va.).
The proposed legislation would carve out a new exemption to
the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), a law used primarily
by journalists which allows a certain degree of public access
to government files.
Companies have cited FOIA as a roadblock to the public-
private partnership envisioned by President Clinton's
cyberterrorism policy. The Administration has long pushed for
the creation of an Information Sharing and Analysis Center
(ISAC) which would act as a central repository for cyberthreat
data, both among companies, and between corporations and
the government. But the private sector has proven reluctant to
give agencies potentially sensitive and embarrassing
information that could be accessible to the public through
FOIA.
According to a draft of the proposed "Cyber Security
Information Act" obtained by SecurityFocus.com, the bill
would allow federal agencies to specifically designate
requests for information as FOIA exempt. Anything obtained
in response to such a request would be kept confidential, and
"may not be used by any Federal entity, agency or authority
or by any third party, directly or indirectly, in any civil action."
