The House of Representatives has approved on Thursday a law that allows companies to share information with the government about threats to their computer systems, despite the warning from the White House to veto the legislation does not adequately ensure the protection of data privacy for citizens. The controversy surrounding the standard, backed by large companies and has fierce opposition from civil rights organizations, is a sample of the debate on the delicate balance between security and privacy in the digital realm.
The Protection and Communication Cyber Intelligence, known as Cispa, allows the Government to share secret information with the private sector to help increase the security of their networks against potential attacks and, in turn, helps companies exchange their data about cyberattacks with the Administration, without legal liability for violations of the privacy of the owners, it is demonstrated that they did in good faith.
The lack of stronger guarantees on the protection of the privacy of consumer data is what makes it suspicious to the White House
The Cispa has the backing of large companies that want greater assurances to protect more quickly and effectively to their systems attacks perpetrated by hackers. Civil rights groups have called the legislation as a "disaster for privacy" and claim that the Government facilitates access to personal data of individuals, weakening the protection of data and privacy policies which themselves Internet companies agree. Opponents decry the standard text does not collect the obligation of companies to warn of the possibility that your information shared with the Administration.
The lack of stronger guarantees on the protection of the privacy of consumer data is what makes it suspicious to the White House. In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Administration stated that "citizens have the right to know which companies are going to be responsible, and that they were not going to guarantee immunity-not adequately fulfill its obligation to safeguard the personal information ". The government said in the document that "or improving the current content of the rule or, as presented is in those moments, the president's advisers will recommend that the go".
A similar version of the rule that on Thursday, the House voted - 288 in favor and 127 against, was approved last year, again despite a veto threat from the White House. Then, the law came to the Senate and, this time, it appears that the legal text the same fate, as the camera focuses Alta on other issues, such as immigration reform and gun control, and several senators are working on parallel legislation.

Cyber attacks have become a major threat to national security and the U.S. economy. For the first time, computer espionage to terrorism has replaced the head of the list of major risks facing the U.S., according to the latest report submitted to Congress by the main security and intelligence agencies of the country last month March. The Pentagon has just created a Pentagon Cyber Command has 13 special units of programmers and computer experts to develop counter-offensives in foreign countries in the event of major U.S. computer networks from being attacked. In February, a publication linked directly to a Chinese army unit repeated attacks on the computer networks of a number of companies in the country and the White House referred to the complaint as "a serious challenge".
In his speech on the State of the Union, Obama announced the approval of an executive order requiring the government to private companies warn about the risk of cyber attacks, but not vice versa. In his speech, the president was very clear on the need to protect "national security and privacy."
