I urged the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Education to improve their coordination efforts to protect K-12 schools from cyberattacks.
I truly appreciate the discussion today. I thank you all for coming before the Subcommittee to discuss what is clearly a really important topic to a lot of us.
I think that cybersecurity culture evolution is a bit ahead of privacy cultural evolution in organizations.
Thank you very much both on the prosecution side of things, but on the prevention side of things for similar attacks to continue.
I spearheaded an effort to create a Federal grant program specifically targeted at improving the cybersecurity of State and local governments.
Is it fair to say--I am looking at kind of how we talk about what K-12 schools in New Hampshire, what steps they have taken to date to implement this law.
Many school districts still view publicly disclosing a cyber incident as taboo, which, unfortunately, keeps the growing problem hidden.
