The US House of Representatives this week passed two bipartisan cybersecurity bills introduced by Congressman Adam Kinzinger.

H.R. 4055, the American Cybersecurity Literacy Act, which was led by Rep. Kinzinger and Rep. Anna Eshoo, would require the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, an agency within the Commerce Department, to establish a cybersecurity literacy campaign to increase knowledge and awareness of cybersecurity risks among the American public, including best practices for preventing cyberattacks.

H.R. 2685, the Understanding Cybersecurity of Mobile Networks Act, again led by both Reps. Kinzinger and Eshoo, would require the NTIA to submit to Congress a comprehensive report examining the cybersecurity of legacy wireless networks and vulnerabilities to cyberattacks and surveillance by adversaries.

The measures head to the U. S. Senate for consideration.
