Bill overview
This bill allows National Guard members to participate in cybersecurity operations and missions aimed at protecting critical infrastructure. Specifically, it authorizes the National Guard to conduct these missions at the request of a state’s governor, often as part of their training or other assigned duties. The bill modifies existing law to explicitly include cybersecurity missions as potential activities during training or other official duties. This would bolster the nation’s ability to respond to cyber threats impacting vital systems.
