Dive Brief:

• A deal to bring CISA to the floor for a cloture vote fell apart on Wednesday due to disagreements over amendments.

• The Senate plans to pick up CISA again after the August recess.

• The bill would encourage businesses to share cyberthreat information with each other and with government agencies.

Dive Insight:

Senators tacked more than 70 amendments onto the bill — some related to cybersecurity, and some not — causing action on the bill to be delayed.

The White House is backing the bill, but other federal agencies and privacy groups are not.

"Cybersecurity is an important national security issue and the Senate should take up this bill as soon as possible and pass it," said White House spokesman Eric Schultz.

Meanwhile, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) characterized CISA as a "surveillance bill.”

"I'm of the view that this bill in its present form would do little if anything to stop large, sophisticated cyberattacks like the Office of Personnel Management hack," Wyden said.

The Senate will continue deliberation on CISA in September.
