Michael W. McConnell: “I note that the Constitution says our goal is 'more perfect,' not perfection. This bill would make cybersecurity more…”

the number-one security threat to the United States of America was cybersecurity, or cyberterror, however you want to phrase it.

America is unacceptably exposed to massive cybercrime, global espionage, and potential cyberattacks that would very easily cripple our infrastructures.

Many will say that we should let the market fix cybersecurity. I'm familiar with this one because I, myself, wrote it in 1996, and I'm still waiting.

The Internet was not designed to be secure. The rules and contracts put in place when it was commercialized were not written with security in mind.
