This panel session will provide an informed discussion regarding the significance of reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in the context of cybersecurity. Since the Biden Administration has come out in favor of reauthorizing section 702, some have pointed to the growing number of foreign cyberattacks on the U.S. as an argument in favor of this controversial surveillance tool. This discussion will explore whether the reauthorization of 702 is essential for enhancing national cybersecurity and aims to shed light on the nuanced relationship between surveillance laws and cybersecurity measures, addressing the need for transparency and effective tools to combat evolving cyber threats.
