this will be my highest cybersecurity priority in the next year. given my keen focus on organizing, streamlining and elevating the dhs civilian cyber defense mission, i look forward to leveraging the cyber taskforces cyber policy recommendations to strengthen our civilian cyberspace posture. in addition we will do more to help state, local and private sector stakeholders protect their own networks and share cyber threat data. so again finally i would like to thank jim who has been such a leader on this issue. i can think of no one who is led more on cyber then jim lewis, and csis, and all the task force members for your contribution here today and her dedication to providing our nations 45th president with his thoughtful and deliberative cyber policy recommendations. with that, thank you very much. >> be happy to take any questions you may have. [inaudible] >> i know the intelligence community will be coming out with a report in the short term. i don't want to jump ahead of that. those fact-based findings. i think we will learn more about his role

of cybersecurity technologies. during our congressional delegation, mr. langevin and i were able to meet with top israeli officials including prime minister netanyahu to discuss how the united states and israel can better cooperate in these vital areas. we had the opportunity to meet with many of israel's cybersecurity companies and technology startups. over the past several years, israel has become a leader in cybersecurity and developed a deep and talented cyber work force, something we need greater focus on here in the united states. to that end, much our discussion with israeli officials and private companies revolved around how the united states and israel can work more closely together and learn from each other as we combat growing cybersecurity threats. this legislation is a product of those successful discussions. mr. speaker, the united states and israel are both under constant threat from nation states and other actors that wish to do our countries harm, so it's vitally important that the united states an

we expected to see the cybersecurity executive order sign but per stephanie, the executive order on cybersecurityen canceled. no other details, but we may see the leaders who were in on this meeting step right before these cameras and we are going to ask, we are going to find out about this. you did see jared kushner, donald trump's social, he di not speak, rudy giuliani, the former mayor of new york city, big on cybersecurity, he did speak, went long on the congratulations, but at the moment, we are waiting to hear perhaps why this executive order signing has been canceled. ii don't want to speculate but other executive orders have come under attack in the next -- last couple of days. we are about to tie yesterday which was the worst day of the markets. we are going to be right back with so much more i've spent my life planting a size-six, non-slip shoe into that door. on this side, i want my customers to relax and enjoy themselves. but these days it's phones before forks. they want wifi out here. but behind that door, i need a private connection for my business. wifi pro from comcast business.

it shows that cybersecurity is an area ripe for bipartisan cooperation in the 115th congress. in the senate i've been working with senator lindsay graham, to counter and disrupt bot nets. taking are critical infrastructure from lurking zombie computers. my friend jim landman along side , chairman mccall and co-chaired the csis task force has been a leader on cybersecurity issues in the last decade in the house of representatives, worked coordination and focus on the protection of infrastructure as well as raising the profile as a national security threat on the national armed services committee. to his biggest priorities, educating, training, and it centralizing a capable cyber security work force for the future and designating a senior official with the authority to shape policy across the government can be seen right at the heart of this report. i appreciate congressman's efforts and to be his successor as co-chairman. i look forward to carrying forward this bipartisan work with my colleagues in the senate and with cyber security leaders in the house like chairman mccall and

some has awakened to the fact they have do more about cybersecurity but part hasn't and as president you're in a unique position to get the private sector to realize they have to pitch in and help the government and i'll work very closely with jared and with tom and sebastian gorker, and take our priorities from you, we'll look at the grids, and bring in all the private grid companies and if you want to look at financial institutions, we'll look at financial institutions, you want to look at hospitals we'll look at hospitals but we'll let you set the priorities to have a very close working relationship, and again, congratulations on your presidency. >> thank you very much. we're going to go into great detail, have it up and running and doing something very special in many ways, i want to thank senator coats about being here. do you have anything you want to say? >> clearly because of the impact it can have my job if confirmed -- i'm not confirmed yet. >> i have a feeling you will make it. >> i hope so, but to provide every bit of intelligence they can so that the policies can be affe

les talk about cybersecurity. how do we improve cybersecurity to improve the relationship? i will say, personal opinion, the single biggest impediment to the future of u.s.-japan security relationship is japan's lack of an overarching industrial and cybersecurity protocols. whether this is industrial cooperation or intelligence sharing. japan must create the sort of confidence-building measures that the u.s. will appreciate and begin to open up some of the i.p., some of the classified capabilities, and most importantly intelligence sharing. if japan ever has an aspiration to be the 6-i, this is the first step. cybersecurity confidence building measures. here are some things from a recent u.s.-japan cybersecurity conference they talked. here are some things japan could do. strong authentication across the board, industry and defense. device hardening. reducing attack surfaces. that's cyberspeak for fewer points of entry, fewer vulnerabilities within the ecosystem of your organization. alignment of cybersecurity and computer network defense providers. part of this goes to the

that falls in the area of cybersecurity. i think that's the best way to do it. even without cybersecurity, as i indicated to you 50 or more years ago, the united states has been involved in that and other countries have tried to influence us one way or another even before the social netwo networking. >> there's also reports out tonight that russians may have actually gotten some personal or financial information about the president-elect that actually may compromise the

experts. 73 igs can't become cybersecurity experts. so, again, concentrating that expertise is one way of sharing the limited wealth that we have in that space, even as we attempt to increase the supply of people who are cyber competent. the final thought and i'll leave it on this, was we'd like to introduce a new term into the vocabulary. we've all talked about acumen as something that all of us need to have in a variety of areas. we wouldn't appoint somebody head of an organization who didn't have some financial acumen, couldn't add numbers and couldn't ask difficult questions. we believe that cyber acumen needs to be introduced into the vocabulary. one specific way the federal government can model that behavior is simply make it a qualification for becoming a senior executive. not that you need to be a cyber expert, but rather that you need to be able to ask the right questions just as you would ask the right questions about finance or other core business functions to assure that you're performing your functions. with that, i want t

you never know what they are doing because it is cybersecurity.in believes there needs to be some changes. mitch mcdonnell was not in the favor of it. i many wondering if you think that they will get the full support of congress? can we expect that time is now, ex politics be put to the side. and full congress can get together and work to secure what is clearly some cybersecurity holes in our system. >> yes, i'm surprised that it was what it was. because the committee that heover seas is in a group called emerging threats. these are old threats. the when i was in the justice department, sitting with the armed services, getting trained, on how to prosecute. and instead of saying maybe it should be here and there. and say let's treat this like we treat most threats. we make it cooperation between the branches. good i think they'll start changing their tune and start realizing that politicizing it, has a negative effect. that's going to be the movement. but we have to do it with constructive conversation. and that's what we're hoping to see him. >> v

all this as the president gets ready to sign an educationtive order on cybersecurity today. it's like one thing afteranother. i want to go to blake burman right now. >> reporter: just your average tuesday, i guess you could say. yeah, earlier today the president met with leaders of the pharmaceutical industry. we've seen these ceos roll in one day after the next, today it was pharma's turn, and before that meeting took place, the president said he wants to bring down the costs of medicare and medicaid. he wants to be able to, be able for these companies to make new cures and be able to do so by helping them out with trade deficits. and he also said that he wants to be able to bring down the cost of prescription drugs through competition. >> we have to lower the drug prices. competition, the key to lower drug prices. we have competition, but a lot of times the competition dissipates. i'll oppose anything that makes it harder for smaller, younger companies to take the risk of bringing a product to a vibrantly competitive market. >> reporter: trish, as you know, drug prices hav

now a lot of their problems are cybersecurity. they can help solve them.ll you solve this? and john, i don't know how the mayor feels about the russians, are the russians hacking us? >> i'm sure they are. there is no doubt the russians, chinese, even our friendly countries, friends of other countries are looking at our system and cybersecurity and hackinand all that. i'm sure of that. liz: can't we put a cone of silence or some cone of protection over us? >> i think that would be hard. that would be doubtful. one of those things, the advantage of being on the internet, the advantage of sharing information and all that, created this whole issue. so i don't think is, that you could take the good part and drop the bad part. liz: but mayor -- >> yeah. liz: let me ask you the russia question. donald trump who you definitely support. we heard from barry diller. i promised our viewers we're fair and balanced. barry diller doesn't exactly love donald trump. let give him a chance but he is pretty steadfast saying i don't sieve the evidence that russians are hacking

interest in advancing the cybersecurity of this neigh. -- nation. i look forward to continue that. >> during the course of this boisterous political campaign, did you ever chant "lock her up"? >> no, i didn't. i heard it, i think sometimes humorously done, but it was a manner that i have said a few things a special prosecutor, i favored that. i think that probably is one of

in my view based on what i have been able to read and have been briefed, we do not have a cybersecurity policy. we do not have a comprehensive strategy around how to deal with what has been a rapidly emerging threat. as i said, we are seeing it manifest itself in ways that we never envisioned. >> i understand the cybersecurity plan. we have to have one to protect ourselves and handle cyberattacks against our country. that is separate from the question of whether people that have already conducted attacks should be sanctioned and singled out. there's an executive order that is now active that has sanctioned those individuals and my question is, do you believe that executive order should be repealed by the incoming president? >> if confirmed, senator, i would want to examine it in all aspects of it in consultation not only with the president but with other agencies that are going to have input on this as to their views. >> well, again, mr. tillerson, all the executive order says is that certain individuals responsible for cyberactions against the united states will be sanctioned and you s

does its part to advance cybersecurity, research and development. with that i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves his time. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. ratcliffe: mr. speaker, i have no other speakers. if the gentleman from mississippi is prepared to close, i am once the gentleman does. mr. thompson: mr. speaker, i have no further speakers. i am prepared to close. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves his time. the gentleman from mississippi is recognized. mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i yield such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. thompson: mr. speaker, cybersecurity threats to our nation are growing in diversity and sophistication. we cannot afford to let promising technologies languish. the department of homeland security should work with the private sector in support of the innovative cybersecurity research, development, testing and evaluation. we've seen that public-private collaboration can give these techno

tillerson, i understand the cybersecurity plan. we have to have one to protect ourselves and handle cyberattacks against our country. that is separate from the question of whether people that have already conducted attacks should be sanctioned and singled out. there's an executive order that's now active that has sanctioned those individuals and my question is, do you believe that executive order should be repealed by the incoming president? >> if confirmed, senator, i would want to examine it and all aspects of it not only in consult with the president but other agencies that will have input on this as to their views. >> and mr. tillerson, if all the executive order says is that certain individuals responsible for cyberactions against the united states will be sanctioned and you still need to examine whether that's a good idea or not? is that correct? >> yes, sir. >> okay. let me ask you this question. is vladimir putin a war criminal? >> i would not use that term. >> well, let me describe the situation in aleppo and perhaps that

joining us now to talk about all of this, morgan who is a cybersecurity analyst, senior fellow at theenter for digital government. great to have you here. whether it be russia, china, north korea, iran, some bad actors out there, there are plenty of those, how pervasive and dangerous are these cyber attacks? >> years ago, their french intelligence said everyone spies on everyone, translate that to the 21st century, everyone packs everybody. this is the kind of wharf where we are not prepared for. we have great offensive weapons but bad defense. it is not only bad right now, it's going to keep escalating because the price of committing these attacks, we don't give people but he noses anymore. we need to start having the defense from our defensive standpoint, cybersecurity defense needs to be so strong that the price of an attack, the cost goes so high that we narrow down who is attacking us. we have the energy grid and all these things basing us and we do not have a good answer right now. >> gregg: we have the cybersecurity tools, the computer programs and software to be able to defend

no one wants to see a cybersecurity issue. so, you know, the federal government level, they actually just put out policy guidance that was really exciting, it covered a lot more than just cybersecurity, but they really became precedent setting by putting out federal guidance around driverless vehicles. this came out a week ago. and cybersecurity is one thing that is addressed. it is not in the level of detail, i think, that -- first of all, i don't know any of us would want to know the level of detail needed to address that, but it does start to dress it. and what we're seeing is coalitions form amongst competing technology makers that are trying to address this as an industry. it is very much at the forefront of the av discussion nationally. i think that's a positive. >> you raised the recent regulations at the federal level that were promulgated and just discussed. there also has been some legislation in california, i'm looking to linsey, because just a few days ago, will federal law preempt state law? is that a discussion t

this hearing is about the range of cybersecurity challenges confronting our nation. threats from countries like russia, china and north korea and iran as well as nonstate actors from terrorist groups to trance national criminal organizations. in recent years we have seen a growing series of cyberattacks by multiple algtors attacks that targeted citizens, businesses, military and government. but there's no escaping the fact that this committee meets today for the first time in this new congress in the aftermath of an unprecedented attack on our democracy. at the president's direction, director clapper is leading a comprehensivery view of russian interviewance in our recent election with the goal of informing the american people as much as possible about what happened. i am confident that director clapper will conduct this review with the same integrity and professionalis team th professionism. i'm equally confident in the members of our intelligence community. the goal of this review as i understand it is not to question the outcome of the presidential election nor sh

some of these experts to come is to get their ideas, to make sure that where we are headed and cybersecurityfulfilling the attempt to ensure the critical drop throughout the government and business are protected and secured. i just want to caution that we may or may not do today. i think the president has a pretty good idea where he will go but i think he wants mayor giuliani and subject experts have to say about the steps that we can take in terms of executive action. that will help secure further critical infrastructures. april? >> i have a couple of questions. no. [inaudible] >> is not a travel ban. i think the secretary or one of the other individuals, a million people are not coming to this country. it is not a band. it is meant for the people who are coming in are vetted properly from seven countries that were identified by the obama administration. abandoning people cannot get in. you clearly seen hundreds of thousands of people come into our country from other countries. sorry. >> .

and basically "cybersecurity problems." peter: finally, doc, what's the next generation? are you working on the next generation of technology for this sak >> yes, i think of the first generation as being -- 2007, then it was conducted. they all had very similar sensors, if you will. light out on the roof of the car being an example. the cadillac you see behind me. the next generation we are usesing on will bascially these technologies completely. they will be ae deal with a lot more scenarios on roads and toy should basically be able drive on roads that they've never seen before. peter: what's your biggest frustration with this technology? raj: i guess there's been -- it's been very safe, so it's not that i have many frustrations. i don't call it a frustration but it's the challenge of dealing with the inherent silliness of a computer. silly to aious and human needs to be taught to a computer. so that it just takes time. peter: raj rajkumar of carnegie mellon. thank you for your time. raj: it's been a pleasure to talk to yo

as i mentioned earlier, the quadrennial review could not be more clear on the urgency of cybersecurity. in light of recent revelations about russian hacking the secretary of energy needs to take it very seriously the threats to this nation and our electricity grid. we are becoming more and more a wider economy. my constituents spend nine days on new technologies within energy secretary who are going to take the threats of rushing hacking seriously and defend us against them. i hope we can go into more detail and questions about this. but i want to make sure you understand that the past energy secretary is leaving you with a roadmap for cybersecurity. i hope you'll take it and provide the leadership that our nation needs to stop our vulnerabilities against something so important as protecting the innovation economy of the future by foreign entities. with that on behalf of the 15,000 washington workers that work at pni labs, i hope you'll take what we've said here today about science, innovation and investment very seriously. i look forward and congratulations on being nominated on this

tillerson, i understand the cybersecurity plan. we have to have one to protect ourselves and handle cyberattacks from our country. that is separate because of people who have already conducted attacksed with sanctioned and there are attacked, and sanked those individuals, and do you believe that executive order should be repealed by the incoming president. >> if confirmed senator, i would want it examine it and all aspects of it. in consultation and not just with the president but other agency answers their views. >> with all of the executive order says is that certain individuals responsible for cyber actions against the united states will be sanctioned and you still need to examine whether that's a good idea or not. is that correct? >> yes, sir. >> okay. let me ask you this question. is vladimir putin a war criminal? >> i would not use that term. >> well, let me describe a situation in aleppo and perhaps that will help you reach that conclusion. in aleppo, mr. putin has directed his military to conduct a devastating campaign and

cybersecurity, serious problem. a very difficult and complex problem. trying to determine whether that hacking was coming from a basement in moscow or coming from somewhere in romania, ukraine or somewhere else by distant servers by solo players. >> martha: this is not something that has happened once or twice and it will continue to happen and it will happen to republicans and all sides before we're through. >> i was in the bush administration. my personal information was hacked into by the chinese i think director clapper called it espionage. what happened then? what were the consequences? were chinese diplomats thrown out for doing this? since 9/11 the cry has been we failed to connect the dots. everything the democrats have done since then is to prevent us from collecting the dots. so if we want to get into this debate i say bring it on. >> martha: thanks you guys. great to have you both here this morning. >> bill: 10 minutes before the hour. the population at gitmo will drop soon. my next guest says that prison, however, will be open for a very lon

>> he's facing increasing pressure to do something about cybersecurity.pressure not only from democrats but also from republicans within his own party as a result of russia's meddling in the u.s. elections. there is of course even more growing pressure for investigations within congress. but the second thing that perhaps this is where we don't know exactly what he will do, is that he's vowed to reshape the infrastructure of government agencies including the i.r.s. to better the technology to what he argues bring it up to speed with the modern time. caroline: a few tech issues at the heart of that, kevin. what about come monday, hitting the ground running as he promised, who what do you expect? >> with regards to technology we have to wait and see. over the next couple of day this is weekend and on monday i do anticipate we'll be hearing a lot about things like how republicans will get rid of key portions of the affordable care act or obamacare as well as tax reform and rolling back regulatory regime structures from everything from the environment to dodd

cybersecurity was all in vogue in 2015. 2016, not so good.lly not the so god beod barracuda networks. that being said, cybersecurity is everybody's radar screen. barracuda operating margins 18.7%. they beat on revenue, billings and eps. billings grew 13% year over year and are they're adapting to the cloud. their customers are adapting to the cloud. fast he that be the rest of their competitors. yes, it's very expensive on valuation. but i do think '17 could be the year for cybersecurity and this is the stock that could benefit the most because they have moved to the cloud faster than the rest of their competition. i will pull up a chart and i hope it doesn't go berserk on me, but you take a look, there is a good chance we break out above the 2016 high and i think this stock has ample room to the up side despite valuation that is extraordinarily rich. back to you, mel. >> i think that is the first time you operated the smart board, isn't it? >> didn't be a wise guy. i've done it before and done it pretty well. >> anybody have a question for g

president-elect, how much of an important role will cybersecurity play in protecting the issue of cybersecurityyour administration? >> very important. you know, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way. because i'll tell you what, no computer is safe. i don't care what they say. no computer is safe. i have a boy who's 10 years old and can do anything with a computer. you want something to really go without detection, write it out and have it sent by courier. >> what kind of questions will you be asking at your intelligence briefings that you asked to arrange for next week? >> we're talking about normal questions, but everything's going to work out very well. and hopefully we're going to have great negotiations with many countries and that includes russia and it includes china. >> you supported earlier this weekend that president obama is visiting capitol hill to meet with democrats this week to discuss how to secure the affordable care act and obamacare -- >> well, he's president until january 20th and after that it's our turn.

what do you think is broader issue on cybersecurity?e are having lunch eaten every day, by -- by the cyberwarriors not about russia, russia is good at this but russia is better at propaganda disinformation look at rt television station probably more dangerous than any cyberhack in terms of distorting the reality the real threat from cyberin my opinion is china, literally tens of thousands of people in form working for chinese army as cyberwarriors, every day, they are attacking us literally tens of thousands of times every hour, so cyber is a key issue, and if you look at who the president is choosing president-elect trump is choosing for his national security council they understand this very, very clear. >> a quick question, you have intelligence defense, and the political activity and the business side all having been kind of up coordinated going after terror what would be your message to trump to really go after face this squarely? >> very simply just conclusion of my book defeating jihad number one get correctness out of threat ass

cybersecurity efforts.hat with us with mayor giuliani at consumer electronics show las vegas with john chen with whom he is working on cybersecurity. giuliani told me right then and there what he thinks about the prevalence of hacking and which nations. >> are the russians hacking us? yes are the chinese hacking us? yes. are the north koreans hacking us? yes. and i can go on and on and mention countries i wouldn't want to mention because they are friends of ours. liz: it appears he is getting a role that matches his passion and knowledge. you saw how passionate he was about cybersecurity right there. reporter: he has done a lot of work on it, liz, as you know in the private sector as he talked to you about. allows him to remain in the private sector doing advising for the administration from the outside. he said only role he was interested inside the administration was secretary of state. obviously not getting that. he gets this. transition team was kick to point experience as reason for giving him a nod fo

ashley: deals with cybersecurity which will be signed any minute now.y head, according to this executive order must manage cybersecurity in their agency. what this does, basically makes the agency leaders, his cabinet members, be more responsible for cybersecurity, recommending how to modernize information technology, their i.t. and to play a greater role in cybersecurity than rather delegating it to lower level officials. greater accountability. stuart: you know, we just step back a second. look what's happening to us. we're in the business, this "varney & company," is in the business of reporting the news as it happens offering context as it happens. ashley: yes. stuart: that is what people are watching these days. liz: that's correct. stuart: the news is breaking constantly. ashley: real time news. stuart: this president keeps on coming out with newsworthy item, bang, bang, bang. it is our job, cover them, analyze them, pass it on immediately. ashley: yep. stuart: that is the entertainment of the day. liz: rocking and rolling. stuart: politics is fas

election have brought renewed focus on cybersecurity.ssing cyber warfare during his visit to the cia yesterday, vowing to make it a priority to develop both defensive and offensive capabilities. paula broadwell is director of the think broader foundation, a nonprofit organization focusing on media accountability. she's the author of all in, the biography of former cia director david petraeus. paula, it is good to see you, thanks very much for joining us. >> great to be with you, maria. thank you. maria: as an intelligence officer, you've traveled as an academic as well, you said to me every system is vulnerable. you're naked online. you've studied this topic for a long time. what do with we need to know in terms of the vulnerability of our very important security information? >> well, you used an interesting word earlier, the renewed interest this cyber hacking influence operations. this may be a renewed public interest, but the department of defense and our intelligence agencies have been working on this issue for a long time. the incom

also said that cybersecurity would be a, quote, very important priority for his administration, and helso really said that interestingly enough, that all this comes a week after he has said he was encouraging people to move on from this hacking situation, and now the announcement that there could be more of a new announcement from him about the hackings. gregg? gregg: well, he says he knows more about isis than the generals. maybe he knows more about hacking than the 17 intel agencies that said it was russia. in the meantime, you know, he and surrogates continue to criticize the white house for imposing sanctions on russia over hacking. >> reporter: that's right, president-elect donald trump says that, remember, he went on twitter and praised russian president vladimir putin for not retaliating against president obama and the white house after they imposed those sanctions which included the expulsion of 35 russian diplomats and earlier today on abc this week the incoming white house communications director sea the sanctions could be politically motivated because china did their own hac

we know in this country there are about 220,000 unfilled jobs in cybersecurity. they pay between 75-$80,000. how $80,000. how do we take the program in the silicon valley area and do that across the country? >> host: describe her district. who are your constituents? what do they do for a living? >> guest: the district is the heart of silicon valley, apple, google, tesla. of course are a lot of folks who work in tech the one myth is it's all tech. it's about 20% tech and you have folks who are nurses and teachers and who work for county government and who work in the trades. we've got genius. it's a very, very diverse community. the tech, of course propels the economy, but there are a lot of people like anywhere else. people are concerned about the cost of living, concerned about the price of housing, concerned about the cost of college. it's a district we have an incredible diversity. >> host: what legislation are you thinking about that you will do first? where were you act first? >> guest: one area i care deeply about is reforming the political culture in washi
