Political Quotes

“This is, I think, a really important bipartisan piece of legislation. It is a very simple and straightforward bill. It is simpler than the name itself. H.R. 1709, the Understanding Cybersecurity of Mobile Networks Act, is a mouthful, but the bill is really quite simple, as Mr. Latta and Mr. Pallone described. We have foreign adversaries like Russia and China that are attempting to get our data. There have been breaches, including our own personal data and personal devices, and so the goal of this bill is to require an interagency group to build out all the information we need to ensure that we understand where all of our vulnerabilities are and that we are dealing with those vulnerabilities--where are the gaps, how our foreign adversaries are accessing data, how could they be accessing our data, and how to further our ability to stop our enemies from attacking our individual devices. This is an important step toward understanding and improving our cybersecurity for the safety and protection of all Americans.”
