Captioning performed by vitac through our cloudbased shared service platform, its a fed ramped cloud where we get the sensors out for those small and micro agencies and feed that data rather than into individual dashboards at their sites, feed it up into a fed ramped cloud where each agency has their multitenant dashboard. Thats been a great accomplishment for the program in terms of for the first time were getting near realtime visibility of those smaller micro agencies and helping them get the capabilities they need to protect their Critical Mission systems. One of the early wins for the program, once we were getting automated discovery capabilities out to the network, we were able to see on average across the federal government that there were 75 more assets than what were being reported up manually. So from that measurement we want to continue to build on that. Now we have all of this vulnerability information feeding up to the Agency Dashboard summarized up to the federal dashboar

Five minutes to make an opening statement. Today the committee is holding our second hearing on the use of racial facial Recognition Technology. We will be examining the use of this technology by Law Enforcement agencies across the federal government. We had a broad survey of full range of issues, raised by technology. We heard from a number of experts about the benefits and the dangers of this technology across government and the entire private sector. Stark conclusion after our last hearing was that this technology is evolving extremely rapidly, without any really safeguards, whether were talking about commercial use or government use, the real concerns about the risks that this Technology Poses to our civil rights and liberties and our rights to privacy. The other conclusion from our last hearing was that these concerns are indeed bipartisan. As we saw at our last hearing, among conservatives and liberals, republic republicans and democrats thats a widerange agreement we should be c
That the banksle were the focus point. They seem to miss in terms of overall trade. In terms of miss overall trade.

Without objection, the chair is authorized to declare the committee in recess at any point. I now recognize myself for an opening statement. Good morning. The committee on Homeland Security is meeting to examine the department of Homeland Securitys use of facial recognition and other Biometric Technologies. The governments use of biometrics is not entirely new. For example, fingerprints have been used as an identification tool for many decades. Other biometrics include dna, voice pattern, and palm prints. In recent years, facial recognition has become the new chosen form of Biometric Technology. As facial Recognition Technology has advanced, its used by the government and the private sector has also increased. Currently dhs is collecting and storing several different kinds of biometri
