Last night, the Senate and House passed the Commerce Committee’s - TopicsExpress

Last night, the Senate and House passed the Commerce Committee’s “Cybersecurity Enhancement Act”, which I introduced along with Senator John Thune last year. For years, I have said that cyber attacks pose one of the gravest threats to our national and economic security. Now, with the passage of our cybersecurity legislation, protecting our information networks is a top priority for the federal government. NIST and our research agencies will have a leading role in this effort, and the authority to work closely with the private sector to identify and reduce cyber risks. I’m grateful for Ranking Member Thune’s hard work on this legislation and his dedication to making cybersecurity a top priority.
