Bill overview
The Cyber Deterrence and Response Act of 2022 aims to combat state-sponsored cyberattacks against the United States by allowing the President to designate foreign persons and agencies as ‘critical cyber threat actors.’ If designated, these entities would be subject to sanctions, including restrictions on development assistance, security assistance, and financial transactions. The bill also addresses travel restrictions for designated individuals and expands sanctions to include countries that aid or direct these cyber activities. It seeks to deter malicious cyber activity through a combination of economic and diplomatic measures.
