§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 cybersecurity help for the personal devices and online accounts of certain intelligence community staff and must provide that help to anyone who asks, if the Director decides those staff are highly vulnerable to cyber attacks and hostile information collection. Personal accounts means online and phone services used outside work (like email, social media, cloud, health, or financial services). Personal technology devices means gadgets and the networks they use outside work. If resources allow, the help can include training, advice, hands-on assistance, and other services about cyber attacks and hostile information collection. The help is not meant to encourage using personal devices for official work and does not authorize protecting senior intelligence officials who use personal devices for official duties. Within 180 days after December 20, 2019, the Director must report to the congressional intelligence committees how those at-risk people were chosen and provide guidance on using and tracking the help.
