Bill > S3863

This bill, the Strengthening VA Cybersecurity Act of 2022, requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) to obtain an independent cybersecurity assessment of up to 10 high-impact VA information systems and the effectiveness of the VA's information security program. The assessment must analyze the VA's ability to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its information and protect against various cybersecurity threats, including advanced persistent threats, ransomware, and foreign actor attacks. The bill also requires the VA to develop a plan to address the findings of the assessment and the Comptroller General to review the assessment and the VA's response. The goal is to strengthen the VA's cybersecurity posture and protect its critical systems and data.
