The US House has approved a bill that directs the Homeland Security Secretary to establish a vulnerability disclosure policy for the agency's websites, following a trend of crowdsourced security being adopted in Washington. The White House's National Cybersecurity Strategy emphasizes the importance of coordinated vulnerability disclosure and crowd-sourced testing to improve resiliency ahead of exploitation or attack. This marks an important shift as progress on cybersecurity had been slow since the appointment of the first federal CISO in 2016, which remains unfilled due to a change of administration. The bill's approval is also seen as part of a broader effort to upgrade and secure federal technology, including formalizing the roles of CIO and CISO, with the goal of achieving the National Cybersecurity Strategy's objectives. The adoption of crowdsourced security in the private sector has been accelerating, with more than 50 industries adopting it, which is now influencing public sector initiatives.
