                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United 
 States should develop and adopt a comprehensive cybersecurity policy.

Whereas nine megabreaches occurred in 2015, each resulting in the compromise of 
        more than 10 million personal identities;
Whereas one such megabreach of the background investigation databases of the 
        United States Office of Personnel Management resulted in the compromise 
        of the sensitive personal information of more than 21 million 
        individuals;
Whereas increasing interconnectedness, facilitated by ubiquitous Internet usage 
        and availability in virtually all aspects of modern life, places all 
        individuals, businesses, public and private entities, and critical 
        infrastructures at significant and persistent risk of cyber attack;
Whereas continuous and rapid technological advancements result in constantly 
        shifting cyber realities with respect to which policymakers have been 
        unable to keep pace; and
Whereas malicious cyber activity has the potential to cause great harm to the 
        national security, economy, and infrastructure of the United States and 
        the health, well-being, and safety of United States citizens: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the United States should develop and adopt a comprehensive 
cybersecurity policy that clearly defines acts of aggression, acts of 
war, and other related events in cyberspace, including any commensurate 
responses to any such act or event in cyberspace.
