The U.S. House of Representatives on Monday passed a bill aimed at protecting industrial control systems (ICS), particularly ones used in critical infrastructure, against cyberattacks.

The legislation, H.R. 5733, formally known as the “DHS Industrial Control Systems Capabilities Enhancement Act,” was introduced on May 9 by Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) and it was approved by the House Committee on Homeland Security on June 6. The bill was announced a few weeks after the United States officially accused Russia of attempting to take control of critical infrastructure systems.
