Abstract
The cyber attack on Sony Pictures may have a much bigger impact on the American public than merely restricting the platforms on which they can watch the latest Seth Rogan movie. The highly publicized security breach revealed that America's enemies are no longer just armed with guns and explosives. Instead, our adversaries are increasingly using cyber weapons that can present an even greater threat to America's security interests. Both Senator McCain and President Obama blame the administration's lack of effective cyber security legislation as a major contributing factor for what happened to Sony. As a result, bolstering cyber protection legislation has become a top priority for lawmakers in 2015. However, many of the bills being proposed to Congress bear a heavy price tag for the American people. In exchange for increased cyber protection, controversial bills like CISPA and CISA will grant the government greater access to the public's private information.
