1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Internet of Things (IoT) Federal Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2018 . 2. Findings; sense of Congress (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The trust of the American people in the safety and security of their Government’s digital technologies, including the Internet of Things, is vital for advancing digital technology trans­for­ma­tion. (2) Digital technology transformation portends tremendous opportunity for our nation to improve the daily lives of the American people and grow the economy. (3) The risk of exposure of Government, businesses, and individual citizens to malicious cy­ber­at­tacks grows dramatically if digital transformation is not managed with vigorous attention to cybersecurity concerns, and failure to protect the Government systems that control our critical infrastructure and essential Government networks could have devastating consequences. (4) Intelligence and national security leaders, including the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, have described Internet of Things (IoT) devices as among the most important emerging cyberthreats to our national security . (5) The Federal Government cannot achieve a high level of cybersecurity unless cybersecurity becomes the task of every person involved with Federal networks and devices. (6) Anchoring responsibility for cybersecurity at the top of governmental organizations is critical to set the correct mindset that enhancing cybersecurity of the Federal Government’s networks and devices is the responsibility of every Government employee to the extent practicable. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) ensuring the highest level of cybersecurity at Government agencies is the responsibility of the President, followed by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and the head of each executive agency; (2) this responsibility is to be carried out by working collaboratively within and among executive agencies, industry, and academia
