"Do you think that the Commission's existing authority in this space precludes the need for a federal data security and data breach law?"

"I think following up on what Senator Blumenthal just said, today's hearing has made it clear that we are dealing with a systemic data security problem in this country."

"I think the people have a fundamental right to privacy, and for me, part of that right is knowing that your sensitive information is protected and secure."

"Well, thank you. This is why it is so important that we get to data privacy legislation. I look forward to doing that."
