The National Counterintelligence Executive cautions that the intelligence community can't entirely prevent cybertheft of national and industrial secrets, but the community can minimize the hostile activity and mitigate the effects. Those efforts will be more successful if the agencies collaborate, build public-private partnerships, and improve intelligence collection and analysis of the cyberthreat to our country. The FY 2013 bill responds by giving the intelligence agencies the resources they need to develop a strong, unified effort to counter China, Russia, and other actors that might threaten our economic security or technological edge. The bill also does a lot to protect our supply chain, which is another area of vulnerability. This is a good bill, it's an important bill, and I urge my colleagues to support it.

I am not certain that a plan which aims to fix a supposedly urgent problem by 2027 demonstrates that the Navy takes cyber seriously.

I think they are all important. They all need work, as you know, from our other hearings as well.
