Cyber agency funds may buy threat feeds for others
What the document says“Funds made available under the heading ``Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency--Operations and Support'' may be made available for the necessary expenses of procuring or providing access to cybersecurity threat feeds”
Section 301. The cyber agency's operations money may be used to buy, or to provide access to, cybersecurity threat feeds for federal bodies, for state, local, tribal and territorial entities, for fusion centers as described in section 210A of the Homeland Security Act, and for Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations.
What the document actually says“Funds made available under the heading ``Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency--Operations and Support'' may be made available for the necessary expenses of procuring or providing access to cybersecurity threat feeds”
The cyber agency may buy threat feeds. It may also give others access to them.
A threat feed is a live list of known attacks. States and firms use it to block them. This lets one agency buy it for many.
