It’s official: on April 16, 2013, the House of Representatives unanimously approved a bill making the first significant reforms in 11 years to the way the federal government governs information security.

The Federal Information Security Amendments Act of 2013 (H.R. 1163) updates the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002. The House also overwhelmingly approved the Cyber-security Enhancement Act, created to advance cyber-security research and development, and expand and train a cyber-security workforce.
