New Cybersecurity Rules Would Increase Information Sharing Between Companies, Gov't 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
On Tuesday, President Obama unveiled new cybersecurity rules in the wake
of the hack on Sony Pictures and the compromising of the Pentagon's
Twitter account. The proposals would allow for increased information
sharing between corporations and agencies, including the National
Security Agency, in part to give firms legal immunity for providing
their data to the government. The White House says the sharing would not
include personal information.
