Microsoft Supports Senate Cybersecurity Bill

摘要

Microsoft said it supports cybersecurity legislation (S-3480), approved last week by the Senate nHomeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The measure would establish a nnational cybersecurity center under the Department of Homeland Security and establish a nformal cybersecurity czar appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. "Your bill ndemonstrates a deep understanding of the challenges that the nation faces in cyberspace, and nprovides a much needed structure and process to address those issues," wrote Managing nDirector of U.S. Government Affairs Fred Humphries. "We strongly support the intended noutcomes of this legislation and key provisions it offers to advance cybersecurity."
