Recent Cyber Attacks Will Embolden Congress To Make Policy Changes, Dem Staffer Says

摘要

A series of recent cyber hacks and attacks impacting networks and industrial control systems have strengthened the resolve of Congress to make policy changes that the legislators generally have been reluctant to make previously, a Democratic staffer for the House Homeland Security Committee said on Tuesday. "I think you're going to start seeing a higher risk tolerance for bolder policy changes and that goes from cyber incident reporting, which last year was sort of taboo when we tried to include it in the NDAA, and now it's a common priority," Moira Bergin director of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Innovation.
