Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBipartisan legislation to strengthen collaborative cyber security-research and development efforts between the United States and Israel was signed into law.
On Friday, President Barack Obama signed the US-Israel Advanced Research Partnership Act of 2016, which will expand existing joint research and create a grant for new development.
Reps. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, and Jim Langevin, D-R.I., had introduced the measure after returning from a congressional trip to Israel in July that focused on addressing cyber-security issues facing both countries, Ratcliffe’s office says in a statement issued Monday.
Ratcliffe is chairman of the House Homeland Security subcommittee on cyber-security, infrastructure protection and security technologies.
