Where CISPA's Going: Everything You Need to Know

An amended version of CISPA passed the House this week. Here's what you need to know about its future.

The second would protect any business that shares cybersecurity information from lawsuits — including suits from users who think their private information may have been shared without justification." Read on for more information.
