    Dear Speaker Boehner, Majority Leader McConnell, Minority Leader Pelosi and Minority Leader Reid:

    The undersigned represent leading corporations from diverse sectors of the American economy. Cyberattacks have accelerated in frequency and sophistication and present a significant risk to our national and economic security. There is an urgent need for action to help bolster our countrys cybersecurity defenses.

    Government leaders, industry and cybersecurity experts all agree that neither the government nor industry can solve this problem alone. Rather, a collaborative approach is required to facilitate the real-time identification, detection and mitigation of emerging cyber threats.

    Accordingly, we urge the Administration and Congress to enact legislation that, among other things, facilitates the sharing of cyber threat indicators with reasonable liability and privacy protections.

    We look forward to working with you to advance this national imperative.

    Respectfully,

    March 2, 2015
