What Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act 2015 - 6 USC 1501 Federal-Private Threat Intelligence requires
Sections 1500 through 1525 of title 6 of the United States Code codify the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015, enacted as Title I of the Cybersecurity Act of 2015 (Division N of the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2016, Public Law 114-113, signed 18 December 2015). The Act establishes the legal framework for the voluntary sharing of cyber threat indicators and defensive measures between federal entities and non-federal entities (private sector, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments) and among non-federal entities, with statutory liability protection, antitrust protection, and Freedom of Information Act and other federal disclosure exemptions. Section 1501 defines key terms including cyber threat indicator and defensive measure (by cross-reference to section 650 added by Cybersecurity Act 2015 reorganisation). Section 1503 authorises non-federal entities to monitor information systems and operate defensive measures for cybersecurity purposes. Section 1504 governs sharing through the DHS automated sharing capability (Automated Indicator Sharing / AIS) administered by CISA. Sections 1505 through 1507 provide the liability and disclosure protections. The CISA framework operates alongside the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 (CIRCIA) which adds mandatory reporting; CISA 2015 remains the voluntary sharing baseline. AI-enabled threat detection, security operations centres, and managed detection and response services rely on the CISA 2015 protections to share enriched indicators with federal partners and peer organisations.
