The federal government would require the Agriculture and Interior departments to make their computer systems and cybersecurity protections work together seamlessly, so the two agencies can share information and protect themselves against hacking more effectively. This affects millions of Americans who depend on these departments' services, from farmers receiving agricultural support to people using public lands and natural resources. The bill aims to close gaps where outdated or incompatible systems might leave sensitive government data vulnerable to cyber attacks.
