who are determined to use cyberattacks to steal from us and weaken us. this bipartisan amendment will further solidify our commitment to protecting the homeland from foreign nation states wishing use it us harm while protecting civil liberties. this amendment significantly narrows the bill's current limitation of the federal government's use of cyberthreat information that is voluntarily shared by the private sector. specifically, this amendment strictly limits the federal government's use of voluntary shared cyberthreat information to the following five purposes. cybersecurity purposes, investigation and prosecution of cybersecurity crimes, protection of individuals from danger of death or serious bodily harm, protection of minors from child pornography, any risk of sexual exploitation and serious threats to the physical safety of a minor and finally protection of our national security of the united states. if the government violates the use limitation, the bill provides for government liability for actual damages, costs and attorney fees in federal cou

should invert the defense/offense ratio to signify that a cyberattack on the united states will have negative consequences. and your answer, as i understand it is, well, we'll act in some -- in some way or fashion. perhaps you can be a little more specific how we can regain, how can we can gain the offense here. >> i actually agree with this statements, and i'd like to characterize it in my words, if i could, senator, in that more than 90% of our force was developed -- all of our force in cyber as we started was on the defense and operate. we didn't have an offensive capability. and so what we're looking at now is how to we grow that capability? if you think about what we have within our fleets, air wings and brigades is the operate and defend capabilities. the offensive capabilities primarily lies in the exploitation xpablts of s capaba and others. we're developing those. i agree we need to develop those more and faster, and we're working on that with the services and that's part of our growth plan. i think in terms of this, senator, i don't want to give you the impression that i do

cyberattack is the main area of vulnerability behalf today.shame on us if we look at this as business regulation. this is homeland security. we have to get together before too long and make this happen. i want to come to the particular difference between the two bills. there are two critical things that have to be done. one is information sharing authorization. the other is protection of the most critical cyberinfrastructure, which is owned by the private sector. 90% of it, finance, transportation, electricity, water, all of which is vulnerable to attack. both bills have information sharing. the bill that senator collins and i introduced is a provision for dhs to work with the private sector. not every business to take certain actions to defend their network to defend our country. general alexander, i just want to have you confirmed this, what you believe that we need both of those authorities and governments. that is information sharing and a system for protecting and better defending privately owned critical infrastructure. is that right? >>

if we have a cyberattack coming in and no one tells us that that's that cyberattack is going on, we can't stop it. today, we're in the forensics mode. what that means is, an attack or an exploit normally occurs, we're told about it after the fact. i think we should be in the prevention mode in stopping that. a lot of that can be done by industry. i think that industry should have the ability to see these and share that with government in realtime. when you think about it it's almost like the neighborhood watch program. somebody's breaking into a bank, somebody needs to call the authorities to stop it. in cyberspace, what we're saying is armed with the signatures, the software, those things that help us understand an attack is going on we believe that industry is the right ones to tell the government that they see that, and get us respond to it. so i just want to clarify, because i do not believe we want nsa or cybercommand or the military inside our networks watching it. we think industry can do that. we think that's the right first step. and we think actually that's in both of these bill

and so we are having cyberattacks every day that succeed.y don't destroy things, they steal things. there's a massive transfer of intellectual property, of research and development. massive transfer from american companies and government labs to china. and the government is doing nothing to stop it. largely because the congress won't set up laws and regulations that allow the government to defend the united states. >> richard clarke, the book is "cyberwar: the next threat to national security and what to do about it." it's just out in paperback. it was a "new york times" best seller in hardback. and we were talking before the break, this is something that has changed the discussion both in policy making circles and those of us that are just interested in national security. congratulations on the success of this so far. nice to see you again. >> and congratulations on your success too with your book. >> oh, appreciate it. we will be right back. a physics teacher by the name of mr. davies. he made physics more than theoretical, he made it real

cyberattack can take place very, very quickly. it's something we must do everything in our power to protect ourselves against. this bill does not solve all the problems. but it certainly leads us in the right direction and again, i want to thank the chairman, i want to thank everybody involved for the bipartisan effort and making the security of our nation our number one priority. with that, i urge all members to vote for this bill and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from maryland yeeds back the balance of his time. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. issa: in closing i urge all member togs support the pass and -- members to support passage of this bill and i want to make one closing statement. often we talk about cybersecurity and people think about just the internet. we sit here in a room that is essentially windowless. i've been in this room when the lights are out. it is very, very dark. we would have a hard time finding our way out. and yet the very essence of keeping the grid up requires com

time about the fact that we are going to wake up and we'll be subject to a crisis or an attack, a cyberattack, for example, that we have no idea where it came from and it virtually has crippled our country. taken down our power grid. taken down our financial systems. and i worry a great deal about that. there's a hell of a lot to worry about in the world we're in. i worry about, you know, what can happen with iran. i worry about north korea. i worry a great deal about what can happen in the middle east as a result of the turmoil there. syria. yemen. bahrain. other places. egypt. those are concerns. but first and foremost, i guess i worry about the unexpected attack that we're not prepared to deal with. >> general dempsey, do you have anything to add to that? >> keep it short for me. >> i will, sir. i do short. you heard my opening statement. >> i like your style. that's my style. >> well, i worry about the kids. if we don't -- that we put in uniform. if we don't ensure they are the best trained, best equipped and best led. i worry about that. the world needs america to be a stabilizing global

one, what are the consequences of the actions of cyberattacks? and how do you plan on catching cyberattacker when he can do it anywhere in the world? guest: i think they have the ability not only the intellectual property theft to the tune of $1 trillion, espionage in terms of stealing our military secrets, cyberwarfare, bring down our power grids, financial institutions, f.a.a., you name it. we have very sophisticated techniques to determine whether an intrusion has taken place. for instance, the c.i.a. probably has 100,000 attempted hacks per week. the house of representatives, i think we have close to a million but we know about those and the members are notified. and very few are successful. that's the good news. they can sometimes intrude and get in, but when they have the beacon to get out of the system, there's a wall that stops the beacon from escaping and getting back to the perpetrator. attribution is very important here. any time we've had a cyberattack, being able to attribute that back to the source and to the computer and then find

jenna: congressman, you said in the past a catastrophic cyberattack is headed for this country.t exactly do you mean by that? >> well, if you think about it, we're right now under incredible theft from the chinese espionage, russian espionage of our intellectual property but nation states have been also developing the capability to shut down whole networks. and i'm not just talking about denial of service where you reboot and plug it back in. they can actually destroy your machine. imagine if you went into the bank and stuck in your card and not only read all zeros or read not anything at all and bank couldn't tell you what is in your account and multiply that over thousands and thousands of times. it could shut down critical infrastructure like our electrical grid which would cause chaos and harm to the economy a and nonnation-state actors are trying to get this capability and unfortunately irrational nation-state actors, north korea and iran are getting this capability. the good news we can do something about it and it is very simple. jenna: talk about your bill and the admini
