§3334d Cyber protection support for the personnel of the intelligence community in positions highly vulnerable to cyber attack

Summary

The Director of National Intelligence must offer cyber protection for the personal devices and online accounts of certain intelligence community personnel. Personal accounts means online and phone services used outside work, such as phone service, home internet, email and messaging, cloud storage, social media, health, and financial services. Personal technology devices means devices used outside work and the networks those devices use. The Director must provide protection to anyone the Director decides is in a position that makes them highly vulnerable to cyber attacks and hostile information collection, and whose devices or accounts are also highly vulnerable, if those people ask. Support, when resources allow, may include training, advice, help, and other services. The program must not encourage using personal devices for official duties, and it does not authorize protection for senior officials using personal tech for official business. Not later than 180 days after December 20, 2019, the Director must send Congress a report describing how eligibility is decided and guidance for using and tracking the protection and requests.
