what in your opinion was the opinion for the security failures and as the lead of cyber security agency, what specific steps are you taking now to address those failures? >> you can only secure what you can see and over the past decade the system of protection that has largely relied upon the parameters of networks designed by intelligence and information from the private sector as relied upon the known malicious activities and adversaries have advanced. the same infrastructure to target us repeatedly. they moved from server to server mostly located in the united states and this is designed to ensure that we don't know where onthey are coming from. and our traditional systems and traditional protection systems are unable to stop them. what that means is that we need to look at new ways of understanding the nature of how the threats are emanating, where they are coming from and we need to deploy different systems to ensure we have the right level of insight to where the activity is happening. as i pointed out, one of the main areas that we plan on focusing including would be resources pr

security, i believe it will be easier to secure the cloud than the last 30 years of us trying to secure everybody's home offices and secure inside four different walls all over the place. yes. it's a good move. mr. hice: ok. mr. chairman, for whatever reason the clock is not showing up on my screen so i really don't know where i am on time. but if there is time, if i could have a brief answer from each of our witnesses. mr. lynch: the gentleman has 45 seconds. mr. hice: ok. if each of the witnesses real briefly, what needs to be done, what does the private sector have that we can use, if you can just give a 10-second answer or whatever, just very briefly. i'll start with mr. smith. mr. smith: the cloud. but then implement the cybersecurity best practices that are needed to use it effectively. as the cloud services provider, we can enable all of the tools, but ultimately it is our customers that will have to decide how to use them. mr. hice: thank you. mr. thompson: my -- mr. ramakrishna: my recommendation would be to share information as timely as possible. because speed and ajult are k

cyber security and infrastructure security. in order to adapt to evolving cybersecurity threats both the public and private sector need o centralized, transparent and streamlined process for sharing information. in the event of future attacks this will be critical to mitigating the damage. this discussion with her governments for most cyber experts will be critical to understanding how agencies are assessing the damage done by these breaches and what actions they took to notify congress. going forward the federal bureau of investigation and thein cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency will pay -- play a critical role in strengthening our cyber defenses in the security of our federal system and their supply chain. mr. deroche up is the chief information security officer charged with implementing and coordinating its efforts. based under strong record in my home state of michigan and your extensive experience i i have every confidence that you are up to the task. i have long raise concerns about the national security th

distanced security network e.s.n. and done i think what we can see moving forward is around him much as. we can see and an increase in the emergence of various atlanta and atlanta groups it's a look at the governments failed. so that the common stilts of the villains and of the protection of our allies and properties of niger ok i'm here to this is a president well i'm a double harry who have a unique opportunity. to move forward take the issue of reform or security apparatus put an end to use to billet to and groups a step further that didn't happen what we've seen so far series of cosmetic solutions placebo's no going deeper into the heart of the matter should we blame him personally for this massive failure which is happening now in nigeria. i mean it is happening under his leadership so there's not a lot of places to pass the ball it merely lands on his his temple and i think 1st and foremost there needs to be an honest honest discussion about the capacity of the nigerian military and nigerian and all of the other

and the security council has have really not done its job . she went on to say that china and russia has veto power in the un security council is obstructing action that needs to be taken in myanmar so far the council has voiced concern but has not condemned what's happened since the coup but there will be a further test of that on friday as another security council meeting has been called to discuss the crackdown on protesters this week it's got harder now to 0 out when zones the executive director of the me and my institute for peace and security he's joining us by skype from yangon is good to have you with us on al-jazeera when you and i were talking a few weeks ago about the situation you were explaining the protesters determination to keep on keep pressure on the military john to when a few weeks down the line we've seen an increase in violence we've seen deaths and we've seen an increasing number of people getting injured as well how are people feeling about this now. where people are very angry at the security forces especially our mili

risk and the security of that data is fundamental to our collective security. but what's interesting, when you think about education, is we have more we have more grant parents in the united states than grandchildren right now. so the population that's probably most in need of, i is a, greater tech literacy to protect them against misinformation and some of the other threats that we are talking about, director wray talked about, are not for school kids when it comes to technology risks, it's older people. it's my parents who are perhaps a little bit too trusting of e-mails that are too good to be true, and happy to click on them without thinking twice. and so the collective effect of ignorance at that level is a big deal. so that was something that we tried to do at the homeland security department. there are opportunities to do a lot more of that, public service education, that make us all stronger. it's really kind of an analogy to a public health campaign. >> very helpful. a couple of questions want to know, i think building on that, what the national securi

nigeria's school kidnappings have become a major security challenge for its government and security forces. at least 700 students have been abducted in northern states since december, and that figure is changing every day, with reports of more attacks and abductions. dozens of students managed to escape a raid on monday, while their three teachers were taken. it happened in the northwestern kaduna state, and it's the first such attack on a primary school. armed gangs, locally known as bandits, are suspected. they usually seek lucrative ransom to release the victims, but the government denies paying any money. president muhammadu buhari is facing mounting criticism for the rise in violent crime. let's take a look at some of the attacks that happened in the past few months. many of the victims have since been released. more than 300 boys were abducted from a school in katsina state in december. in february, there were two mass abductions within 10 days that killed at least one student. and earlier this month, 39 students were reported missing after an attack on a college in the northwestern

security programs including the department of homeland security, by the way. and so they need to fix the problem and have good responses when incidents do occur to respond in a quick manner. so there's more that needs to be done in those areas. we have 750 open recommendations right now. since 2010 we've made 3,300 recommendations. these are very specific vulnerabilities that need to be closed. and the supply -- in the supply chain area, we made 145 recommendations to the to these agencies so congress can make sure the agencies implement those recommendations. third area is critical infrastructure protection. here the standard for the private sector, except in a few instances where the federal government has regulatory responsibilities, are voluntarily implemented by the private sector. and the federal agencies have sector liaisons and they're supposed to help promote the adoption of those standards in the private sector. but the fact remains that the federal government really doesn't have a good handle on the extent to which the private sector has adopted the

one example, of how civic education affects the current national security threat, is election security. and the problem of maligned foreign influence. that's been a top concern for the fbi recently. we have the lead federal agency for identify and combatting that target u.s. constitution's and values. like the rule of law, free and fair elections, and freedom of speech and freedom of the spat of the press. our adversaries are doing all they can, to underline those cost it is institutions, and confuse and divide americans by sending disinformation especially through social media. the fbi is working hard to combat those efforts. along with our partners in government, and the crime sector. and we actually have a great deal of success. but at the end of the day, no amount of fbi investigating, can buy itself sufficiently insulate our country from this threat. ultimately our best offense, is a well informed public. citizens who are thoughtful, discerning consumers of all the information that is out there, and have a solid understanding of how our government backed institutions work. america

kinds of purposes the same as the head of state when it comes to security so he has his arm secured that will travel with them made up of schools are and. they will work hand in hand with the iraq security intelligence services to provide a security cordon around the pope wherever he goes now a trip like this involves a lot of planning and interagency coordination likely weeks in advance that they've been doing is preparing contingency plans for every conceivable incident that could happen there will be a plan for a medical emergency will be a plan for emergency evacuation in case of a bombing it is it a riot in case of ground attacks and what we've seen recently in case of a missile attack. and as part of this plan the have primary and alternate routes to every every site that the pope will visit the islamic state would be would certainly be a group that. security officials would be concerned about and also the possibility of not high but the possibility that one of the shia militias could. could start to attack i think the biggest threat would be through islamic state or lone wolv

this is about the impact of election security on federal cyber security. there have been some conversations about this election security in 20/20 may have distracted the agencies took us away from security. since cisa focus contributes to a lack of resource or situational awareness that made it more vulnerable to cyber security breaches, for those efforts were those efforts a factor in allowing the solar winds intrusion to go undetected. >> if i can thank you, collects you can take all the time you want . >>. >> let me address better by saying the work that we did in concert with our interagency partners to protect our democratic institutions is not a distraction. it is a core mission of the agency, a priority of work thatcontinues to this day . and let me address it secondly by saying our agency has a broad mission. as i covered opening remarks we work across cyber cyclical communications with building resilience andheightened and enhancing security . we have to have the ability to work multiple problems really even in the midst of the election season. st

i believe cyber security is a threat to your national and homeland security. if we don't act swiftly and decisively we'll regret it. we're now facing a crisis on the southern border that should have and could have been avoided. through rhetoric and actions by this administration we're seeing an unprecedented crisis unfold during a pandemic. the situation at the border continues to get worse every day, with inadequate action or proper acknowledgement of the severity of the situation. i just returned from the border where i started my career as a federal organized crime prosecutor in the mid '90s. i can tell you it is indeed a crisis that continues to deepen each and every day. one thing that disturbed me was a number of children encountered along the border, exposed to the elements and having experienced a dangerous, traumatic journeys. i'm very concerned that the administration's rhetoric and policies are encouraging more to attempt this dangerous journey. no question about that based on my conversations with the customs and border patrol agents. as i said dur

greater collaboration on issues like cybersecurity, energy security, health security, and safeguardingtical infrastructure will help build our resilience and preparedness against present-day threats. it also makes us stronger when we stand up for our values. consider the sanctions that the united states just imposed in unity with canada, the european union, and the united kingdom on individuals engaged in the atrocities being committed against uyghurs in xinjiang. the retaliatory sanctions that china then imposed on members of the european parliament and the eu's political and security committee, academics, and think tanks make it all the more important that we stand firm and stand together, or else risk sending the message that bullying works. this includes sticking by our non-nato partners in europe, many of whom continue to stand firm with us on the alliance's front lines. and we'll look beyond national governments to the private sector, civil society, philanthropies, cities, and universities. diverse, broad-based cooperation is essential to protecting the global commons -- those re

sisa was a strengthening of homeland security, the homeland security department capacity. it came about, let me give a plug for someone you may know -- the first assistant director who basically conceptualized and used to work on the hill as director of the democratic side of the intel committee. i agree that sisa needs to be strong, but there are other parts of the government. are you saying cyber command would be based in the homeland department? there's a cyber command in the pentagon. and there is also now, again, i don't know what her title is, the new tom boster in the white house. he served in the trumpet ministrations and not only was he like, but his position was demoted. now there is a new person. where would this cyber commander be? let me put one thing on the table. 85% of the internet is controlled by the private sector which has in many respects better skills and certainly can attract better talent, because it pays better, then the government. something we have done at the wilson center is try to improve the trust between the private sector and the homeland.

nuclear security sector. even cybersecurity firms in the region those systems one of the firms folks call when they get hacked and they got hacked itself. we know that despite all the increased funding that legislation that committee the federal government not on - - never caught the attack. they of fact the federal government is not surprising to me june 2019 as a permanent subcommittee on investigations i released a report with senator carper detailing the extensive vulnerabilities of a different federal agencies. they have remain unresolved for a decade. over a year later three of those agencies and we highlighted were seriously come from mice by the solomons attack and those are the three we know of as of today. this is not a big surprise to us it was one of the most widespread and consequential today in response to take a hard look at cybersecurity strategy wire defense capabilities not up to the task? this includes the front line defense called einstein. einstein is cost $6 billion and is supposed to pr

let's start with the united nations security council — that is why the security council exists, to deal the security council for a debate and a resolution and a vote, it should, that is what they are there for. if they can't act for whatever reason, it is important for those countries willing to take action to work together to co—ordinate a full range of options including tough focused sanctions that working together can have a cumulative impact, a power punch to the junta. you talk about like minded countries coming together and agreeing sanctions, that is what you think should happen? well, that's right, it has to be an emergency summit of countries willing to take action if the security council can't take action. there are dozens of various sanctions on regimes around the world. we need to co—ordinate them into a whole and focus them together so they will have the strongest possible punishment. to direct themselves to the source of revenue flowing into the pockets of this regime and empowering its brutality. and to be clear, part of the reason you think the united nations security co

those protesters in last year stood off with the security services further down the road for a couple of hours they were waving groups representing different protesters around the country but also their own ethnic groups and the security services stood back they didn't push back as they had done so many other places and this highlights a big problem that i think many people are concerned about that these ethnic groups and they exist all across myanmar in many of the border areas and they very well and in certain cases these protests could be the potential for greater strikes in addition to which the military shows any weakness a tool those are groups could use this is an opportunity to push back against them . at least 20 people have been killed in the somali capital after an explosion at a cafe popular with government workers under schapelle has more. for the 2nd time in a year a popular restaurant is attacked in somalia's capital dozens are dead or wounded. yemeni was crowded on friday night when this rickshaw carrying explosives was driven into it a nearby building collapsed buryin

seventh, we will secure our leadership in technology. a global technology revolution is now underwau. the world's leading powers are racing to develop and deploy new technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum computing, that could shape everything in our lives where where we get energy to how we do our jobs to how wars are fought. we want america to maintain our scientific and technological edge because it's critical to us thriving in the 21st century economy. but we know that new technologies aren't automatically beneficial, and those who use them don't always have good intentions. we need to make sure technologies protect your privacy, make the world safer and healthier and make democracies more resilient. that's where american diplomacy comes in. we're going to bring our friends and partners together to shape behavior around emerging technologies and establish guardrails against misuse. at the same time we must strengthen our tech defenses and deterrents. we need only look at solar winds. the major hack of u.s. governments

who is a geo political and security analysts at afi politics that's a security think tank he says the key to addressing this issue is for nigeria to invest in its police force. the kidnapping is lurie's can have reward because less if you look at let's go back to the you know the incident didn't know that because in the heart of it by a 1000 students in the school or boys' school the school is it's suckered in not fixed it one is close to you know do these bushes are in areas where the government knew that this criminal elements or prick from saudi hiding these forests are from those who formed before the law and attack on the communities so one of the main issues anybody who i agree with your on is the fact that the mom power is the major major problem for inciting and you know we have 219 police meant 510-0000 citizens 219 others who are less than 300 which is sub-saharan africa as average that'll see you that's a large extent the government the government cannot even prove by security even if it wants to because the demarc part is is just nor did you know and therefore the funding

, and border security.and i just want to remind you, one of the things that we learned at the border today is that when 120 border patrol officers are taken from the border to a processing center, that leaves our border porous. and what did we learn? that there are drug traffickers and there are individuals on the terror watch list that are coming across our border illegally, from yemeni, syria, iran. they're coming here and they're on the terror watch list. we also, they had a huge apprehension of fentanyl. well, interstate 35 goes all the way up, all the way up to iowa. and we have drug problems all throughout the i-35 corridor. and that continues when we allow illegal drugs to come in here, trafficking. i'm also a former director of the iowa department of public health. we learned today that there's not testing, that 50% of the border patrol agents have contracted covid-19, that there's a mental health strain on them. imagine during the pandemic, having had policies that work, and in the blink of an eye,
