Cyber Deterrence and Response Act

In recent years, As cyberattacks in the United States have grown more sophisticated and widespread, we must ensure the Trump administration and all future administrations have a strong framework to hold bad actors accountable and safeguard our national security. In response to this, I introduced the Cyber Deterrence and Response Act of 2025 to deter foreign nation-states from launching cyberattacks against critical American infrastructure by creating a unified federal process to identify, attribute, and sanction the world's most dangerous state-sponsored cyber actors.

Protecting America's critical infrastructure from malicious cyberattacks is essential, and this legislation will give the U.S. real tools to impose costs on foreign governments and entities that target American networks, critical infrastructure, and elections. Read more about the bill here.
