chairman to the issue of cybersecurity and national cybersecurity protection. the amendment that i'm offering now states that the secretary of homeland security may consult with sector specific agencies, businesses, and stakeholders to produce and submit to the committee on homeland security of the house of representatives and the committee on homeland security and government affairs of the senate a report on how best to align federally funded cybersecurity research and development activities with private sector efforts to protect privacy and civil liberties while assuring security and resilience of the nation's critical infrastructure. again i can recount the incidences that have brought this issue to the attention of the american people. certainly one of the moats striking -- most striking wases the actions of mr. snoweden. it's important we develop research that blocks those who would intend to do ill to the american people. it includes a development objective to enable the secure and resilient design and construction of critical infrastructure and more comp

a cybersecurity bill. in fact, it can remove the -- reduces the focus of our efforts on combating cybersecurity when you open it up to everything under the sun. by including a vast array of other reasons, the government can invoke, to store and share personal information. the authors of the bill essentially transform the information sharing initiative into a broad new surveillance program. yes, rather than a cybersecurity measure effectively these bills are a stalking horse for broad new surveillance authority by multiple agencies of the federal government. without warrants. without oversight. h.r. 1560 empowers federal entities to hold on to any information about an individual that may be related to any of the many law enforcement purposes lumped into the bill. that gives the federal government enormous incentives to retain and scrutinize personal information, even if it's unrelated to a cybersecurity threat. the scope of the use authorizations also undermine due process protections that exist to protecti

he talks about the growing threats to cybersecurity. president obama: this week together with our allies and partners, we reached an historic understanding with iran, which if fully implemented, will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon and make our country, our allies, and our world safer. this framework is the result of tough, principled diplomacy. it's a good deal -- a deal that meets our core objectives, including strict limitations on iran's program and cutting off every pathway that iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon. this deal denies iran the plutonium necessary to build a bomb. it shuts down iran's path to a bomb using enriched uranium. iran has agreed that it will not stockpile the materials needed to build a weapon. moreover, international inspectors will have unprecedented access to iran's nuclear program because iran will face more inspections than any other country in the world. if iran cheats, the world will know it. if we see something suspicious we will inspect it. so this deal is not based on trust, it's

the bipartisan cybersecurity information sharing act of 2015 is sponsored with me by dianne feinstein and senator john mccain. it creates a cybersecurity information sharing environment that works much like a "neighborhood watch" program -- allowing all participants to get a better understanding of the current cybersecurity threats that may be used against them. and while we're ultimately trying to keep your information private, let's also talk about how this bill is going to ensure that's the case on the government's end as well. information sharing's covered by the bill and its 100-percent voluntary. no one is forced to share information in any way. the bill requires that a company removes private data before sharing anything with the government. no company is allowed to share data unless it is directly related to the cyber-attack itself. after hundreds of calls with the government, business community and civil liberties groups, i am confident that senator feinstein, senator mccain, and i have put together a balanced approach that will help your private information stay just that wa

amend homeland security act of 2002 to enhance multidirectional sharing of information related to cybersecurity risk and strengthen privacy and civil liberties protections, and for other purposes. the chair: pursuant to the rule the bill is considered as read the first time. the gentleman from texas, will control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas. mr. mccaul: thank you mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mccaul: i'm pleased to bring to the floor h.r. 1731, the national cybersecurity protection act -- advancement act, a pro-privacy, pro-security bill that we desperately need to safeguard our digital networks. the i'd like to commend subcommittee chairman, mr. ratcliffe, for his work on this bill. as well as our minority counterparts, including ranking member thompson and subcommittee

is cybersecurity. so that is always going to be a challenge. i will tell you over the last five years that n kiick has really stood up with -- ncic has stood up with we'll credentialed individuals. anybody watching this podcast i would encourage them to working with the department of homeland security. it is going to evolve. we'll have several portals. i'm sure that question will come up. this will be the primary civilian interface to the private sector. the future of the ncic and dhs and legislatively too because it already has been authorized, it is a bright future i think for the department of homeland security. >> actually the fourth question on my list but we'll take, we have three more, four more in the audience. we'll take them in sequence. >> thank you for your brief congressman. my question is, as you, your team drafts this bill, and in consideration that if it becomes, it will be legislated, that is hard to say what consideration has been given include other countries who are probably considering, you know, legislation to support info

. >> let's switch to cybersecurity if it's okay.al alexander said it's the largest transfer of wealth in history. it's about $4 billion a year just in cyber-crime. you had an announce thmt weekend in san francisco, what is the department of homeland security doing to combat cybersecurity, what needs to be done across the country? >> the essential mission of the department of homeland security is to work with the private sector, share information with the private sector to promote the cybersecurity in the private sector. we also are responsible for the cybersecurity of the federal civilian dot-gov world. so i was in san francisco earlier it week to give a talk to the rsa conference the largest cybersecurity conference out there. something like 20,000 people. it was a great opportunity for me to talk about our cybersecurity mission. i announced a couple of things including the opening of an office of the department in silicon valley so that we can better build our partnerships out there. i'm pleased that congress is moving on cybersec

i want to thank him for his leadership over the many years on this important issue of cybersecurity. this legislation comes at a critical time of rising cyberthreats and attacks on our digital networks. cyber breaches and attacks are affecting americans' privacy, security and prosperity. individuals are having their most private information compromised. businesses are seeking their intellectual -- getting their intellectual property stolen and their networks damaged. the country's critical infrastructure is being probed by foreign enemies. detecting and defending against these digital assaults requires timely and robust information sharing between the public and private secondors. this exchange of data is crucial to connecting the dots. identifying cyberattacks and -- shutting them down. protecting cybernetworks act will enable private companies to share cyberthreat information on a voluntary basis with the federal government. this bill provides simple liability protection for sharing cyberattack indicators through trusted civilian agency portals. again, i commend chairman nunes for

about cybersecurity threats and for other purposes. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. the house will be in order. members are asked to take their seats. the house will be in order. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from new york seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i have a motion to recommit at the desk. the speaker pro tempore: is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill? >> i'm opposed to it in its current form. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman qualifies. the clerk will report the motion. the clerk: miss rice of new york moves to recommit the bill h.r. 1560 to the select committee on intelligence permanent select with the instructions to report the same back to the house forthwith well the following amendment. page 22 line 14, strike and. page 22 line 16, strike the period and insert a semicolon. page 22, after line 16, insert the following. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is recognized. >> consent to dispense with the reading. the speaker pro tempore: is there objection to dispense with

he also outlines new cybersecurity ledge shun which

and this whole idea of cybersecurity and cyber defense.so what brings mike rogers to spend some time with you today? as the commander of the united states cyber command, three primary missions. like many of you responsibility for defending networks. in this case responsibility for defending the networks of the department of defense. pretty large organization multiple millions of people, spreading around the globe, operating from fixed loexz, multiple locations at multiple levels of security. second issue for united states cyber command is to generate the dedicated cyber workforce, if you will, that the department is creating. that workforce will work from the defensive side of the cyber mission to the offensive side. that's about 6200 people. we're about halfway through the process of creating that workforce. >> the third mission set for u.s. cyber command is when directed by the president or the secretary of defense to defend critical u.s. infrastructure. as some of you are aware, the federal government has designated 16 different segment

the proposed new office will help tech companies provide and improve cybersecurity. the government also hopes to improve its strained relationship with the technology industry. speaking in san francisco today, the director of homeland security, the secretary said that cybersecurity must be a partnership between government and private sector. we need each other and we must work together. >>> disturbing new video today out of southern california shows a confrontation between a woman and a deputy u.s. marshall. 34-year-old beatrice paez says she was out for a walk sunday afternoon in southgate when she stumbled on a large federal operation. the marshals were in the process of arresting several bikers and they did not appreciate paez recording the operation and you can see one slammed it to the ground and kicked it. a neighbor recorded that from across the street. the marshalls say they are reviewing that footage. >> one san francisco county jail will soon be equipped with body cameras. ross mirkarimi announced the deputies are expected to start using those cameras this

the report goes on to say this is all based on interviews with cybersecurity experts, as well as aviation then outline a couple of theories. they say someone with a laptop could, "a," common deer the aircraft and could put a virus into the flight control computers, they could also jeopardize the safety of the flight by taking control of the computers and, lastly they say, a hacker could take over the warning systems or the navigational systems of the aircraft and we know those are all critical components here. again, this is just coming out but the headline one of the headlines is that they found a vulnerability with these highly automated aircraft and they are saying that the faa needs to address it at this point, brooke. >> this is not something any of us want to hear when we hop on planes in the wake of all those questions and the plane going down in the french alps. there have to be if they're realizing this this potential or hacking there has to be fixes or recommendations in the report. what do they recommend? >> well we do know that the congressman, peter defast so the ranking memb

earlier attorney general loretta lynch outlined cybersecurity as a top priority for the nation. listen. >> i firmly believe that cybersecurity must be among the highest priorities for the department of justice. and that is why as attorney general, i will seek to build on the already outstanding work of the women and men of the department. liz: akamai ceo and co-founder tom leighton joins us now. perfect timing, tom. loretta lynch clearly understands this is an issue. some might say late to the party, you've been aware for a long time. >> this is a big deal, pretty much every enterprise has to worry about cybersecurity. there's a lot of malicious entities trying to bring down websites. steal confidential information like credit cards and to corrupt content from news sites to put their story on your site. and akamai's job is to prevent that. liz: how are you guys doing that as the let's build a better mousetrap people out there, meaning the hackers get smarter and smarter? >> our approach is different. we defend websites by intercepting the traffic close to the origin of the malic

cybersecurity. that will always be a challenge. i will tell you of the last five years, they really have well credentialed individuals. anybody watching this podcast, i would encourage them to look at -- look into working with the department of homeland security. we have several portals, and this is going to be the primary civilian interface with the private sector. the future of the ncic and dhs and legislatively, too, because it has been authorized, it's a bright future for the department of homeland security. host: that is actually the fourth question all my list. -- on my list. we have four more in the audience we will take in sequence. >> my question is, as your team drafted this bill, consideration that it will be legislated, what consideration has been given to include other countries who are probably considering legislation to support information sharing? and if you could talk about that in the context of u.s. multinationals that also have footprints in those countries and is there any consideration for reciprocity if count

i would like to talk to you about cybersecurity. the majority leader has announced that he's going to try to have cyberweek here on the senate floor at some point. there's a lot of activity in the house. we have bipartisan bills that are pending on information sharing between federal agencies and the big communications providers. on agency public reporting of the cyberthreat to increase public awareness, of coordinating national notification when companies have data breaches. and only updating some of the criminal penalties. when we first were working on comprehensive cybersecurity legislation, another main piece of this effort was on the critical infrastructure piece. now what i hear quite widely is that the d.h.s.-led framework process that has pulled together a great number of critical infrastructure industry sectors is going very well and that as a result of that there is no immediate pressure for legislation in that area. now, there may not be an immediate need for legislation in that area, but of all the different areas that i

trott: i rise to speak about the need for a stronger cybersecurity efforts in our country. personal data flows through the internet with great speed and data about people is gathered in an instant. the use of social media has opened up our lives and this is the same world where hackers steal millions of personal records from people in our distributes. most members of congress have been affected by hackers. internet criminals pose a dire threat to our government on the local state and federal level. the federal government has the resources but our local municipalities do not. five southeast michigan counties, living ton monroe oakland, washington, wayne in the state of michigan came together to build the cybersecurity assessment for everyone. it provides a strong point for governments to begin assessing their cybersecurity needs and taking steps to respond. the assessment is an excel download. i commend these local michigan governments for committing the resources to develop such a tool and encourage my colleagues to work together to find the right solutions to fight cybercr

> well again, they are saying that they are talking to -- they're talking to aviation experts, cybersecurityxperts, however, they made very clear that they haven't done any actual testing or mock-ups of these scenarios but here's what these experts say could essentially happen. using a laptop someone could take control of the aircraft put a virus onto the airplane's computer systems or take control of the plane's computers and lastly they say they could take over the warning systems and the navigational systems and we all know those are extremely critical. >> renee, appreciate it. >>> the money lead if that scared you this one might infuriate you. watch what happens to some checked luggage in this must-see hidden camera video from miami international airport. you can see baggage hammers going through suitcase after suitcase stealing valuable items. it is a problem in airports nationwide. senior investigative correspondent drew griffin shows us how they pull it off and which airports are the riskiest for your valuables. >> these are airport baggage handlers. thieves. inside the belly of a pla

. >> cybersecurity given the emphasis in 3.0, when will cybersecurity become a source selection criteria along with cost schedule forum ans? >> i hadn't thought about it in those perm sterms, but it should be a requirement period on our program. i can see it being inculcated into risk assessments and so on. and compliance with basic security requirements already is a requirement. it is a contractual requirement. the reason we made the change last year was to put a contractual requirement on all of our contracts that people had to protect data to a certain standard. that's an enforceable requirement. so -- through review about the government, the same way dcmo would enforce any other contract requirement. dcma, excuse me. >> you're not mulling a criteria in source selection to -- >> it is more of a pass/fail tony. you got to be good enough on cybersecurity to get to do the job is really what we're after. last one? one more. >> south korean newspaper. it is not directly related to -- you're in charge of the acquisition. recently because of the controversy over that system more koreans came

the issue is you're going against the world's second best cybersecurity offense team in the russians that. it's ridiculous that we can say, okay, the secretary of state is allowed to run her own e-mail server from her home in upstate new york. this is -- and part of the reason for that understanding is they new the state department network was not secure. charles: is that suggesting hillary's home made network at home is more secure? >> no no, no absolutely not. i understand why they may have used that as a decision-maker, but she cannot compete with the monitoring resources, i'm sorry, ms. clinton cannot compete with the monitoring resources that the state department can provide. and she's in the perfect position of authority to say, or was at the time, to say we need to fix this we need a strong cybersecurity policy for one of the most important agencies we have in the government the state department. makes no sense. so i don't think it's a lack of sophistication, i think it's a lack of understanding that we can't make exceptions for people who are high enough up to say you know wh

. >> right now i support the defense industry and we cannot find enough cybersecurity professionals.o said one of the greatest risks to our national security right now is cybersecurity and if you don't have coding capabilities, you're not going to be able to protect your airways, transportation, electronic grid, all of these things are susceptible to hacking. a homeland security professional give a briefing and they said their greatest concern is not having enough u.s. citizens to fill jobs because you have to be able to be eligible. so we are adding great risk. >> if your kids want to take one of or the other, what would it be? >> i would actually go for coding. but my high school math teacher would say that she would be sad that certain things didn't make the list. [laughter] but listen, language skills are wonderful, but they don't come close to technical expertise. and every wealthy person in america but their kid needed to learn japanese, they are going to possibly compete in the global economy, thankfully dearborn speaking english are incredibly lucky because it is the language

now, this is all based on interviews with cybersecurity experts aviation experts.ially all agree that using a laptop someone in theory, as you mentioned, could commandeer an aircraft, put a virus into the flight control computers. jeopardize the safety of the flight by taking control of the plane's computers, or they could even take over warning systems or even navigational systems. the report also explains that you know as the air traffic control system is upgraded to use more internet based technology both on the ground and in planes the avionics of these aircraft can be compromised. we do know that older planes they're not as highly connected to the internet so the risk is a lot less for aircraft 20 years and older. i do want to bring up one thing. one of lawmakers who requested this study, this is congressman defazio. he essentially says this to cnn. what needs to happen now is that the faa has to focus on aircraft certification standards that would essentially prevent a terrorist group from using a laptop either onboard or on the ground and take control of the
