Andrew Garbarino: “I am a proud original cosponsor of the Chairwoman's State and Local Cybersecurity Improvement Act.”

I appreciate President Trump’s responsiveness, engagement, and swift action to heed my calls and reverse these drastic and dangerous funding cuts to vital DHS grants, which support New York City’s counterterrorism efforts.

That's why 9/11 happened. 9/11 happened because our intelligence agencies, they were siloed, they were not sharing information. I don't know if it was a complacency or whatever, but there were a lot of problems.

It is imperative that we get the CIRCIA rule right. CIRCIA should serve as the standard, not another regulation standing in the way of effective cyber defense.

I don’t want to be mean.
