Emerging Cyber Threats and Implications

Abstract

Chairman Ratcliffe, Ranking Member Richmond, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for inviting me to address important emerging concerns related to cyberspace and cybersecurity. Specifically, I will discuss how cyberspace continues to change, expand, and remain inherently vulnerable. I will discuss both the kind of information sharing that is needed to help defend cyberspace proactively and how the public’s privacy concerns affect that very information sharing. Finally, I will mention the needed next steps, including more discussion of the need to balance security and privacy, potential technological approaches, and the potential need for future legislation. Introduction.
