but in homeland security and really in cyber security, the federal government is just a co-equal partnerh the private sector and with our state and local and tribal and territorial colleagues. it's really all about partnership which i love. and you know, every day i probably spend 60 to 70% or more of every day meeting with partners, either in industry or at the state and local level, which, again, is incredibly fun because you're right, it's all about building partnerships, relationships, and trust. so, it's a fantastic job. you know, it's hard to think 100 days that sounds like it's been a while, but every day has been fantastic. and so, you know, i see a couple things that i'm focused on over the, whatever, three years, whatever it is, maybe four buckets i'll give you. the first is really leading the transformation of cisa, as we know it's the newest agency founded by my good friend chris krebs, and it went through a pandemic, a contentious election cycle and a whole bunch of things that happened this year that were really pretty intense work. so the transformation piece of this is no

i have a question about election security. i think i will frame it this way, could you discuss a little bit about the efforts that have gone into election security, and it feels from the outside that we have made quite a bit of progress, but maybe just describe what it looks like from your spot. gen. nakasone: in 20 18, as we were getting ready for the midterm elections, one of the things we had done is we looked back and said what are our adversaries doing in previous elections, and one of the things that they were successful at, and what were their vulnerabilities, and one of the realizations we came to was if we were going to have success, we needed a strong series of partnerships. the first one we needed was between an essay and cyber command, the genesis of the birth of the --group, the best of the agency and the command underwent leader to be able to get after what was at the time we thought a very dangerous election oncoming. we had a success. the things that we learned was that we had success not because just u.s. cybe

democracies collapse in the absence of security. nobody has the freedom to thrive and succeed if they are not safe and secure. security is the great rock upon which freedom sets. if you chip away at that rock, freedom will be eroded by bit. there are so many of us that speak passionately about how h ard won our freedoms were and how easily they could be lost. margaret thatcher and ronald reagan were steadfast and united in their belief of freedom as they confronted the evil empires of communism and socialism, and they were right to do so. we must never forget that rock that underpins those freedoms must also be defended, and that it will crumble if we do not work together to preserve. in 1989, the berlin wall fell freedom seem to have won. 32 years later, we know that is not true. there is nothing inevitable about the future, and if we want a future where we are prosperous, happy, and free, we will have to work for it, and without, that means cooperation amongst allies on shared security threats and holding a clear understanding tha

this is affecting national security. when i talk about ransomware and think about it, if it has that brought of an impact, it is able to impact our critical infrastructure, certainly, it has to be a national security issue. to your point, the next point of the question, so what does that mean? i think it means the nation brings all of its instruments capability to bear on a problem like this. as i look at that -- and one of the things that we have said -- if this is a affecting the nation's security, nsa and cyber com will want to be in the middle of it. anything we can do to assist the department of homeland security, cisa, we want to be the best partner. what does surge mean? when we surge, we bring our best people together, focus on a singular problem, look at different and creative ways to get after that problem, how do we share information on that, how do we perhaps impact that to the betterment of the nation. surges are one of those things that i think we do very well here, particularly on a focused problem like ra

security agency. prior to that at morgan stanley in new york. this is sort of a new york event. i wasn't planning that as we did it but d upstate and down state covered. distinguished career at the white house deputy for counterterrorism and msa. two time recipient of the broad star. west point graduate. she asked me to stop there because sheo doesn't want me t gogo through the whole list. i am only half way through so, again, two great speaker, two leaders ins the field. i think critical infrastructure protection has been highlighted by recent events we've all seen. more importantlyly by the activities not just of russia but china and iran. this is a very timely series to have a discussion of and representative, let me turn it over to you. >> well, thank you very much for that nice introduction and obviously jen is an amazing person and i am happy to be here with her. thanks for having me. i could pick no better way to close out national cyber securityty awareness month thano becl discussing this ver

we are also taking urgent steps to reduce national security cyber security risks. this morning, we issued a new binding operational directive that fundamentally changes how the federal civilian government addresses vulnerabilities being actively exploited by our adversaries. under this directive, federal agencies must now fix vulnerabilities identified by cisa within specified time frames and update their security programs to effectively account for these requirements. this directive will significantly improve the federal government's vulnerability management practices and degrade our adversary's ability to exploit known vulnerability. and while the bod only covers federal civilian agencies, we strongly recommend that every network defender review the known vulnerabilities posted publicly at cisa.gov and prioritize argent remediation. i was gratified to see significant report for this directive to include from this committee. i also consider our partnership with congress and specifically this committee as absolutely essential to assist in missions success. last yea

and there is light security. there's not no security. the security gets ever tighter as you approach the ticket counter, there's more uniform police around, more cameras and of course ticket agents and once you go through the security checkpoint, you're going past tsa, being searched, they're observing you, talking to you, checking your i.d., so it's much more secure. so, if it's past a security checkpoint, you know, that's much more of a problem. >> so let's take a look at this step-by-step. let's say this happened at the initial area where you are checking your luggage and the like. that one wouldn't so much bother you because rules are that one can put a gun into a suitcase, though goodness, it can't be loaded but then how would they even check that? >> right. of course, it's supposed to be unloaded, and you can transport a firearm in checked baggage if you notify the carrier that you're going to do it. you have to -- you must notify the ticket agent and then your bag is marked, you know, they'll check it, and you can do it unloaded b

net, which security has multiple layers and so we're not dependent on any single layer to provide security. it's multiple layers and a lot of training, a lot of assets go into those multiple layers, so it's -- there's always concern. the management -- the management teams for the security agencies, they never stop worrying. so, i don't think that this event today is in any way unique to atlanta. atlanta just happens to carry -- have so many more passengers through it than most other airports. the exposure's up, but their systems of security are also some of the best in the world. so, they'll learn from it, absolutely. and it will be the subject of hours of discussion going forward to try to get the lessons learned. >> all right, john, jim, stand by for me. i want to reset for everybody about 23 minutes after the hour. as we are following breaking news out of atlanta hartsfield international airport. you got a frightening couple of moments there for passengers at the airport just a short time ago, a gunshot going off inside the building, causing a lot of panic. you're watching the video of

or national security without border security. it won't and can't happen. i've read the statements of mark morgan, and chief scott and agree 100%. since i'm the i.c.e. director, i'll spend time on interior enforcement. there can be no border security without interior enforcement especially at a time when nearly 9% are fraudulent claims. latest data from immigration court shows nearly 90% of central americans that have claimed asylum simply don't get relief from u.s. courts because they don't qualify or don't show up in court. and what happens to the nine out of ten that are order removed on average, 3 to 6% depart the u.s.'s order and become fugitives. what is the penalty for the hundreds of thousands of family units that entry the country in violation of law. what is the penalty for ignoring the judge's order and failing to leave. they will get amnesty, under the biden plan, they will be rewarded. this ridiculous cycle will do nothing but bring nor illegal aliens to the border. the secretary has brought memory ran -- memorandum.

there was an increase in terms of private security, an increase in terms of event security.dditional space for crowd control. but i want to know and the community deserves to know is more needed to have been done. so we'll focus on objectively finding out and reporting what happened, how it could have been prevented and the public has a role here, too. if you have any information as to what took place, let us know. let the houston police department know. rumors, as the mayor said, that's not what we need. but there are some serious questions that need to be asked so to the families, our hearts go out on behalf of harris county. our hearts go out to you and just know that we won't give up on asking the tough questions about what exactly took place here. i'll repeat remarks in spanish after everybody speaks. thank you. >> thank you. >> two things that i want to acknowledge. and offer my condolences to all of the families who lost loved ones and to those family members who were injured. i do want to do that. number one. offer our condolences and prayers to them. secondly, i wan

but we had to first secure the border. you in the administration can you talk about what the plans were and what we've lost? i agree this administration inherited this. president trump said kind of tongue-in-cheek but it resonated with me because i think he's right. all the administration had to do is go to the beach. that's it. and he's right. every single day i truly believe we were securing the border more effectively as each day that went by as part of the multilayered strategy of infrastructure plus intelligence, let's take intelligence for example. we were improving our intelligence ability every single day. we were gaining unprecedented cooperation with the governor of mexico and the northern countries and beyond, not just with personnel on the ground. and it probably differs a little bit for senator portman that it took some strong-arming from the trump administration to get mexico on board and do what they've done. they've never, ever put as much resources and effort into the flow of illegal immigration as they di

of course, iran prevents serious security challenges that extend beyond that program. so i'm going to continue to be very clear. we will defend ourselves and our partners and interests against threats from iran or its proxies. one last thing before i take your questions. this gets the big issue of civilian casualties, which i know is on your mind. it's on my mind as well, i can assure you. we conducted an independent review and investigation into the august 29 airstrike in kabul , the airstrike that tragically killed 10 innocent civilians including seven children. i asked that special operations command to come back with me with their plans or how to implement the findings and implementations. i am working my way through the recommendations. none we are also looking for rigorous outside thinking. i think you know that we will soon be releasing a civilian harm study of iran that congress ordered out of the defense authorization act of 2020. there is another iran study on civilian casualties in syria that is working its way throughout special security review. i look forw

there is no national security without border security. there is no homeland security without border security and there is no border security without enforcement because the 600,000 released in this administration are a priority. they are not a priority and i will tell you why. that number is pretty close to zero. then the same memorandum the recent border crossers our priorities and give a list of equities you must take into consideration. the memo says straight out being in the country illegally is not legal. it no longer warrants a removal so the secretary completely ignores the law passed by congress. it's clear when we have the highest numbers of illegal crossings in this country the same month we had the lowest number in the history of the agency. it's been abolished. not to the agencies but the abolished mission so hundreds of thousands have come across this country will never leave. just one data point i want to explain if you look at the executive office approximately 89% of the family units from central america who claim asylum,

there is no national security without border security. there is no homeland security without border security. and you know what, there's no border security without interior enforcement, because these 600,000 that were released by this administration, the secretary said, in this piece of paper, they're a priority. they're not a priority. i'll tell you why. ask i.c.e. how many recent border crossers they arrested in the united states and had removed. that number is pretty close to zero. then the same memorandum, he said recent border crossers are priorities, they give a list of equities you must take into consideration. the memo says straight out that being in a country illegally is no longer illegal, basically, that being in a country illegally by itself no longer warrants a removal. so the secretary completely ignores the laws passed by congress, i guess he's become a legislator. it is clear when they have the highest numbers of illegal crossings in the history of this country, the same month i.c.e. had the lowest numbers of arrests and r

the security council president reading out a statement. the members of the security council expressed deep concern about the expansion, an intensification of military lashes in northern p. o. p. the members of the security council for their express use, concern about the impact of the conflict on the humanitarian situation in it. yoga, as well as the stability of the country and the wider region. it's understood that this replaced the statement that island and kenya had been working on, which called directly for a cessation of hostilities. a phrase that russia reportedly objected to. the role of kenya is critical in assuaging african fears. about western intervention in ethiopia. a senior diplomat has told me this broad consensus that the african union, along with ethiopia, neighbors, must take the lead in resolving the crisis. the prevailing view is that african problems require african solutions. but now all will have to wait until next week to see what action if any, the security council takes in support. mike, hannah al jazeera united

the secretary must deal with naturally disasters, transportation security, cyber security, international and domestic terrorism. violent white supremacist is the most consistent and lethal threat in the homeland. i've been sounding the alarm about this threat for many years. in 2012, i held a hearing following the massacre by a white supremacist of six worshippers in oak creek wisconsin. i pressed the dhs witness to do more to address this threat. instead the department shuttered its only office dedicated to combatting domestic terrorism and launched a program which focused almost exclusively not on how many groan terrorists but american muslims. as the january 6 attack on the capitol demonstrated for too long our federal government has failed to address the growing terrorist menace in our backyard. i look forward to hearing from the secretary on this and other important issues facing the agencies and what congress can do to safeguard our nation. my republican colleagues have strongly held views about the biden administration and immigration. we've heard them many times and i'm sure we'l

because our freedom is utterly dependent upon security. he asked mesk if i'm also prepae more concerned with law and order, i will tell you now that is a false dichotomy and free market, do not exist in signature that can only exist with the rule of law pretty cannot have free markets and a thriving economy that is peaceful, the property and the businesses are unprotected e and it representing his freedom, space to create you ingenuity in the very thing that are we seek to undermine and they do so not toge just gain economic advanta, but of course the stable assault together and that is something we need not let them do and democracy floors are function without security and someone cannot vote freely if she is scared or intimidated our faces choices not legal likely in democracies collapse in the absence of security andur nobody has the free thrive and succeed if they are not safe and secure. security is a great rock upon which freedom sets if you chip away at that rock, the freedom will be eroded bit by bit. there's so many of us that spe

i have a question about election security. ...ere getting ready for the midterm elections, one of the things we had done is we looked back and said what are our adversaries doing in previous and what was the trade craft to be successful in what were their vulnerabilities? one of the realization we came to safely assist if we asked and 20 team we need a strong partnership in the first partnership we neededbe was between nsa and cyber commanded nasa genesis of the group. again this idea of bringing together the mid-agency in the command under one leadership to be able to get after what was at the time we thought of very very , very very dangerous election on coming and we had success in the things we learned in 20188 was that we had success not because u.s. cyber command and the nsa were together but we have partners with the fbi and international partners. we were focused on one thread in 2018 so i think t the follow-on question is what changed in 2020? or partnerships got bigger. it was not only just nsa cyber command fbi says the

in its wake, the transportation security administration released two security directives designed to improve the cybersecurity of critical pipelines throughout this country. some of that required them conducting more detailed vulnerability assessments of that required incident reporting to the federal government so we can more quickly take action in response. in addition, on the natural gas pipeline side, there's a number of activities underneath the white house ics initiative, focused on industrial control systems. those are the systems that operate the pipeline between cyber and physical and cisa is is a critical part of that. there is certainly more work to do and we recognize how critical pipelines are to the economic security and national security of this country. it's why we are working in such close partnership with both industry and our government partners to provide more information, more expertise conduct our own assessments and , make sure that our pipelines are as protected as possible. >> great, and i really do appreciate that. and i think the americans, you know after s

security council itself? well, we did get a statement from the security council last week in which had called for a negotiated ceasefire, which had called for an end to the ongoing hostilities. but there's still some division within the security council, though this is denied by the president of the council says is no division at all. but some players within the council, russia, in particular, has very close ties to the ethiopian government. it is reluctant to see any kind of unilateral cease fire in which the ethiopian government would have to give any a ground in terms of its ongoing standoff against the to grey rebels. so that is an issue with the security council. it's papered over at the moment. that is unlikely to be any vote to any motion and the constant, the costs they are. there may be another statement similar to the one that has already been passed out. but still, there is problems within the council in terms of addressing it. this is in a way ameliorated by the agreement by all that. this is basi
