Create stronger cybersecurity protections and reporting channels for critical infrastructure while protecting personal privacy.

We need new ways to protect the computer-connected systems that keep lights on and banks open... When critical infrastructure is attacked or essential data is stolen, companies need a clear way to report it to civilian authorities... it’s essential that privacy is protected.

Booker committed to improving cybersecurity for critical infrastructure, including clear civilian reporting channels and privacy protections.

Congress.gov records S.754 as passed by the Senate on October 27, 2015, 74-21, and summarizes federal/private cyber threat sharing, required removal of unrelated personal information, and a DHS strategy for cyber incidents affecting critical infrastructure.

The Senate advanced a bill matching major parts of the promise: cybersecurity information-sharing channels, privacy removal procedures, and critical-infrastructure cyber planning. The bill itself did not become law in this form.

The Senate roll call for S.754 lists the vote result as Bill Passed, 74-21; Booker (D-NJ) is listed as Nay.

Booker did not vote for the standalone Senate cybersecurity information-sharing bill, so this specific vehicle is mixed evidence for his delivery of the promise.

Public Law 114-113 includes Division N, Cybersecurity Act of 2015, authorizing cyber threat monitoring, defensive measures, and sharing with the federal government for cybersecurity purposes.

Section 105 required DHS to build a process to receive cyber threat indicators and defensive measures from non-federal entities through email, web forms, or automated real-time processes.

This directly supports the reporting-channel part of the promise by establishing federal intake processes for private-sector cyber threat information.

The law required processes for protecting personal information from unauthorized use or disclosure and for retaining, using, and disseminating cyber threat indicators under privacy guidelines.

The statute included privacy safeguards, though the evidence proves legal protections rather than whether all privacy advocates considered them sufficient.
