White House delivers cybersecurity legislation

The White House today sent its cybersecurity legislation to Capitol Hill, asking for changes in the law that will give the Dept. of Homeland Security more authority and duties in overseeing both private-sector and government networks. The White House is also asking for a national data-breach law that would supercede the patchwork of state data-breach laws now in place around the country.
