shipping products safely and securely is what we do. the product we transport accounts for nearly half of the consumed fuel on the east coast providing energy for more than 50 million americans that rely on us to get fuel to the pump and we supply fuel for operations such as airports, ambulances and first responders. the safety and security of the pipeline system is something we take very seriously and we operate with the interest of our customers and the country first in mind. one month ago we were the victims of a ransom where attacked by a cyber criminal group and that attack encrypted our systems although the investigation is still ongoing we believe they exploited the legacy profile that was not intended to be in use. they had a financial payment in exchange for the key to unlocking the systems. we had a cyber defense is in place but the unfortunate reality is those were compromised. this forced us to make difficult decisions, choices in real time that no company ever wants to face. i'm proud of the way people reacted quickly to is

security. to some degree, you can say bitcoin is very secure. if you send money, you know that money has been sent to that person. on the other end, if you want to stop transactions, you can say bitcoin is not what you want, and you may be looking for another type of cryptocurrency. i think this is what we are going to see when states develop their own cryptocurrencies. they will be public, everyone will be able to use it, but it will be permission. only the state or a handful of figures can track all transactions. the infrastructure behind block chain is very important. host: if you want to trust bitcoin as a currency, you have to buy into it as such. that is where the problem lies for the skeptics. successes for those that want to take a chance on it, and it is all about trust. >> that is a big debate. when the person wrote the bitcoin paper, they said bitcoin was a trust lists technology. that is saying it is that is saying it is act of the exact opposite. you do not have to trust a single person to trust the entire system. but i very much ag

it's for clues on how national security cases will be conducted going forward. there's already concern that this case will undermine the very wanted and respected rule of law in hong kong. as you sat there for one thing, there is no jury in this court criminal cases. discourse customarily have a jury and also court and concern is the fact that the 3 judges overseeing this case have all been appointed by hong kong chief executive phone. kid is only 24 years old. he is accused of robbing his motorcycle into a group of policemen. and carrying a flag which had the words liberates hong kong revolution of our times, which is now seen as the secessionist phrase. and on that basis, he has been accused of violating the national security law on for to session on charges of the session. and the alternate charges of terrorism. what makes this so much more poignant? had he done the same actions 24 hours before? it's worth noting that on the day was the july 1st protest that was the 1st day the national security law had come into place. had he done this before, he would have

you asked about security. again, as i said, if you stick or if you stick a bunch of cash in a box and send it to grandma and, and salvador, you're going to worry that somebody's gonna intercept that and open it up. but vast majority time, it's almost impossible with crypto currency. luckily, that also means that once grandma gets cash, she can be swindled out of it pretty easily because of because of online fraudsters, et cetera. the real question for salvador, how are they going to manage taxation of this? and one would suspect that at this point, they don't have a good handle on that. and in the future, if they're able to use crypto, they may have a better handle on it, especially if they use some sort of centralized exchange by breaking crypto currencies. crypt occurrence is supposed to be implicitly decentralized, right? there's not gonna be supposed to be one actor by breaking them and making one actor in that country. you could feasibly, you could feasibly make, have more control over it. okay? well, it'

security policy and network security. welcome, mr. higgins, please proceed with your opening comments. >> good morning, chairman peters, ranking member portman and members of the committee. thank you for the invitation to appear before you today to provide an update on the department of commerce incident response activities. i serve as the deputy cio within the office of the cio. i joined the department in march of 2020 and provide leadership for department cyber security program, which includes establishing policies, procedures, for the department and its bureaus, implementing enterprise cyber security functions in accordance with fism and coordinating interdisciplinary activities on behalf of the department. as mr. wales testified in the previous hearing, a cyber security campaign affecting multiple agencies, and private sector organizations was identified in early december of 2020. within commerce, ntia identified indications of a potential systemic compromise related to this campaign and immediately began engaging with the departm

she is a co-program director at the emerging tech and cyber security program at the national security institute at george mason. i appreciate you all being with us today and following on the early good conversation we just had with congressman katko. ginny, disinformation campaigns are such a challenge in today's society, what are you recommending to your client base and what do we need to know? ginny: sure, that is a huge question. disinformation has evolved over time. it is not like there have not been campaigns like this before social media. the idea that especially external actors, nationstates, are trying to influence others, that has happened as long as time has existed. but we are at an inflection point now, where the reality, or what truth is, is hard to define. we do not have the same trusted institutions were used to and a lot of that trust has been broken down. so, i will focus on the u.s. as a nation i think we are scrambling as individuals, to know who to trust and what to trust and what information is accurate. so this is an all hands on deck scenario. we talk a lot abou

cyber security efforts. additionally the cyber director occupies a highly physical position, one that should be expected to offer a clear unified voice in public communications and advocacy. supporting lines of effort must necessarily address the fact cyberspace isn't built and operated as a single centralized organization and that it is comprised of far more than technology. the central collaboration and integration will heavily depend on how the roles and responsibilities are defined and executed while the success of a national strategy will depend as much on the skills of our people as on the technologies that they employ. given those realities we must ensure the technology is built and deployed with security foremost in mind, the supply chains that support them are free from security risks and people are cyber literate and roles, responsibilities and attendant accountability are efficiently well defined and we remove the fissures and seams in the defenses that offer adversaries opportunities to find and

those three areas are national security, public safety, and border security. border security is specifically defined as recent border crossers. i think those documents and our actions speak powerfully to the fact that the border is closed and we enforce the laws congress has passed. but, we will do so effectively to ensure the greatest impact and outcome for the resources we have. >> mr. secretary my time has expired. i thank you for your responses. i yield back. >> thank you. thank you for what you do. some of us have dealt with madam secretary since the bush administration. everybody comes in with their own thoughts and philosophies. no matter what you do, some people will think you're doing too little or too much. i know you have a very calm potato job. we want to be as supportive as we can to help you succeed. my question is, i need for you to help me give a message to my border communities. what would you tell by border communities when we talk about reopening the southwest border to non-essential travel? in laredo, for example? -- in laredo, for example,

they're also critical points of ensuring the security of the united states where u.s. customs and border protection officers and agriculture specialists must identify and interdict dangerous people and goods. the majority of hard north texas, methamphetamine and opioids plaguing so many parts of our country have traditionally been smuggled through these ports of entry. cartels move weapons and hard contemporaneous outbound daily. and human trafficking, counterfeit products and trade fraud are constant challenges. over the past decade congress has provided significant resources for land ports of entry and enhanced legal authorities to enter into innovative public/private partnerships and cbp has endeavored to deploy them to continually improve the facilitation of lawful trade and tlafl while enhancing security. as a result, cbp has made substantially progress in improving ports of entry towards that groel of increasingly well managed border, one that efficiently and effectively identifies and interdicts threats while expediting the vast majority of travel and trade. mor

energy security is national security. i am worried about making sure that we ensure that we protect this industry that keeps our homes -- that heats our homes, runs or businesses, lets the economy flourish. beyond the ones and zeros, it is obvious that colonial pipeline is a significant piece of infrastructure and i hope we can truly learn and apply these lessons. what other types of resiliency can we look to in this sector, in this industry? mr. blount: i spent 35 years of my career in houston, texas and though i haven't had the opportunity to return phone calls in the last month, that's a major concern on the part of the energy sector now. a lot of what we talk about today with regard to the public-private partnership is important. they added a valuable equation today, which is that the security sector has a lot to add in that conversation, so it is a three-way conversation, and we need to find a way to communicate what we take from the colonial incident and combine that with the amazing amount of other incidents that h

overall security for the senate. the house sergeant of arms would have it for the house and the architect of the capitol for the architect of the capitol for that entity. but there is no one singular individual overall for the capitol complex. >> thank you, mr. bolton. do you believe it would be appropriate to consolidate the dispirit police units into the single bureau led by a civilian director of intelligence to increase the focus of capitol police intelligence gathering and analysis, improve the timely sharing of relevant intelligence and improve coordination within the agency and its law enforcement partners? >> yes, sir, i believe that would be the most efficient way of going about the gathering and dissemination of intelligence. >> thank you. final question, if you'll indulge me, madam chair. under existing authorities the capitol police chief lacks unilateral authority to request assistance from the guard. do you agree with this conclusion that the lack of such authority to request national guard assistance h

there is a major security -- was a major security breach of the capital -- capitol. that building had to be secured. but a lot of these things we have a tendency to overreact. i hope that as we look back at 1/6, we learn the right lessons and do not overreact. we do, we often make it worse. going back to afghanistan and the larger global war on terror, that is the kind of thing you've seen over the last 20 of years. in many cases, we have gone beyond what we needed to do and fundamentally made the problems we're trying to solve worse. that is what we need to be careful of as we get past 1/6 and doing things like deploying two divisions of national guards, i think we should take a hard look at that question and whether or not it was necessary. host: dave on twitter says could you ask the guest about -- trump seriously considered using our military during the george floyd protests. what are your thoughts? guest: i have seen those reports. i do not have any insight on how accurate they are. i do not think that it is appropriate to use active military soldiers or marines

our security forces to ensure secure. we warn the taliban to come and stay in peace, and if they do not stay in peace, they will face these young people and the people of afghanistan. we will not allow our country to become insecure and we stand by our security forces. i lay the lead us general there this week said that they could visualize a path to civil war. part of that might be these civilian militias. have you been able to get outside of kabul and report on, on this? and if you have what, what have you found out there actually going tomorrow, i can give you more direct information. unfortunately. but the issue of the civilian militia, it goes back to what i meant by nice and is that people find themselves in a situation where no one is providing for them, right? so it's all about, it's clearly not providing for them. the government is failing to provide for them in many areas. a lot of people feel left out by the government. and if you look at a lot of these payments, what, what did they say? they say we want to fig

what is the national security issue? is there a national security issue? we have heard so much over the past few years about issues of voting. if it is not past, is in a national security issue? jake: i would take the basic notion of democratic reform and voting rights in the united states is a national security issue. we are in a competition of models with autocracies, and we are try to show the world that american democracy and democracy at large can work, can effectively deliver the will of the people, and to the extent that we are not updating, refurbishing, revamping our own democratic processes and procedures to meet the needs of the modern, then we are not going to be successful in making that case to the rest of the world, to china, russia, or anyone else. there is a national security dimension to this today just as there was through the decades of the cold war. >> thank you so much. can you talk about how president biden plans to convince especially our european allies that former president trump was an anomaly in some ways? all of the things he d

security. you know, what i mean? right now, even under the current structure, it is the state's responsibility to prosecute most crime, most crimes of speech crimes on the federal crime. so assault, kidnapping, you know, all of these things, that's the crime. you don't get justice and security without justice. you don't get security without justice, right? but injustice is a part of the problem that is drive in the insecurity. because if somebody talk my fun and it's all my fun and nothing ever happens to them, right? which again, remember, is the responsibility to prosecute. yes, of course the federal police have to arrest that, but we need to be talking about why aren't we see more prosecution at the state level? because until you prosecute those people, you will continue to have clashes. if somebody talk my front, nothing happens to them. the next thing i know i'm organizing people to go type them and you see that's like over and over again and just caution and like we say, you know, wasn't somebody in a blue jack

so nato must address the security consequences of climate change. my ambition is to have a clear political commitment at the summit to significantly reduce military emissions, contributing to net zero. we also conduct an alliance-wide assessment of our assets and inflations. integrate climate change into our planning and exercises, partner with industry to be -- have climate neutral capabilities and prioritizes sustainable technologies. as our societies move to more renewable energies, we must ensure our militaries are part of that energy transition. eight, we will agree to develop nato's next strategic concept, to reconnect to our values and our enduring purpose and to adapt to the changing security environment. and finally, to do all of this, we need to invest more. we are on the right track, with seven years of consecutive increases in the defense spending by europe and canada. we must keep up this momentum, but it should not only be investing more, we should invest better. that is why we should increase nato's common budget to help fund more joi
