The U.S. House of Representatives approved the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act ("CISPA") on April 18, 2014. CISPA would protect private-sector companies from liability stemming from the sharing of cyber threat information with the intelligence community.

Previous versions of CISPA were passed by the House in 2012 and 2013 but not approved by the Senate.
