If this recalcitrance continues, I think we should consider using the subpoena process.

Even one incident of racial profiling is too much.

I think he or she stands a better chance of being seriously considered for that job if they have a degree.

We need to provide opportunities to reskill those currently in the workforce who are interested in moving to a career in cyber.

To start, we must begin engaging students in primary and secondary school. We cannot wait until college to introduce cybersecurity as a career profession.

We can't wait until college to introduce cybersecurity as a profession.

These people are not rich. They don't have a lot of money, and they still sucked it up and did the right thing and kept us safe.

So as CISA is thinking about securing tomorrow, how are you preparing for the potential effects of quantum and other emerging technologies on critical infrastructure?

I look forward to hearing from CISA about their plans to defend today and secure tomorrow.

The Federal Government must work with partners across the public and private sectors not only to prevent and deter current threats, but also to evolve to meet those of the future.

I am concerned, like all of us are, that we should have those machines now.

I think the turnover seems to be rather high. That means we are not paying competitive salaries.
