Congress, meanwhile, successfully passed Rep. Michael McCaul’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act, which president Trump signed into law in November 2018. This bill establishes the DHS’s National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) as a standalone federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), charged with overseeing federal and civilian cybersecurity programs covering critical infrastructure, and will oversee various cybersecurity offices within the federal government, including the Federal Protective Service (FPS), the Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM), the Office of Cyber and Infrastructure Analysis (OCIA), the Office of Cybersecurity & Communications (OC&C), and the Office of Infrastructure Protection (OIP).The agency will remain under the purview of DHS, but will have more authority in its duties and will receive increased funding.
