Venable partner Jamie Barnett was quoted in a February 1, 2015 Business Insurance article on growing bipartisan support for cybersecurity legislation. The primary focuses of any proposed legislation are information sharing and a national data breach notification law. Those following potential legislation believe a bill dealing with information sharing is more likely to pass Congress and be signed into law.
"A lot of the homework has already been done, so I do think we'll see an information-sharing bill of some sort moving forward ... and I expect the president will sign something," said Barnett.
