White House Cites Intel Sharing Efforts in NDAA Veto Threat

The White House is threatening to veto the National Defense Authorization Act if it contains a number of provisions from the House, including those for public-private cyber threat intelligence sharing activities recommended by the Cyberspace Solarium Commission. A statement of administration policy says that “do not adequately reflect the Director of National Intelligence’s statutory responsibility to protect intelligence sources and methods with regard to cybersecurity threat intelligence related to information systems operated by agencies within the Intelligence Community.” The provisions have bipartisan support and are also included in the Senate’s NDAA.
