The purpose of the Cyber Letters of Marque and Reprisal Act is to give the President of the United States the authority to issue special permissions, known as cyber letters of marque and reprisal, to private individuals and organizations. These permissions would allow them to conduct specific operations in cyberspace aimed at combating cybercrime and protecting American interests from cyber threats. Key provisions of the Act include the ability for the President to authorize private entities to carry out cyber operations against designated cyber threats.
