Congressman Tom Graves H.R. 4036:
- “A voluntary review process that individuals and companies can utilize before using active-defense techniques;
- This provision allows defenders to benefit from review of their proposed active-defense measures by the FBI Joint Taskforce, which will assist defenders in conforming to federal law and improving the technical operation of the measure;
- The authority to conduct these reviews would exist under a two-year pilot program, and could be amended or renewed at a later date.
- Requires notification to the government for the use of active-cyber defense measures that go beyond beaconing;
- Clarification that the bill does not interfere with a person’s right to seek damages;
- Requires an annual report on the federal government’s progress in deterring cybercrime.”
