Be a member of congress. We welcome suzanne spaulding. Also thomas fanning, two of the commissioners of the commission. First of all, i want to thank the cochairs and the two commissioners for their important work on the Cyberspace Solarium Commission. I think the end product is excellent. I think it has some solid recommendations that a number of these are within our committees jurisdiction and will be working hard to vault those and the ones evaluate those and the ones that we can get them passed into law. They can be done through executive action. I would like to spend my time, enter my formal written statement into the record. I just want to talk about two of the commissions of recommendations. When i got here in the congress in 2011, cybersecurity was a hot issue. It still is. It is not going away. But i remember the buzz word back then is we have to do something about this. We have made a number of attempts and quite honestly, we have made a fair amount of progress. My own sense

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
The continuous diagnostics and Mitigation Program and what im going to talk to you today about is the importance of the cdm program continuous diagnostics and mitigation for federal cybersecurity.

And so, what we have done in the federal government, started out at dod with the cybersecurity architecture review there and now dodcar and we have it in the civilian side. The dotgov review and what this effort is about is to take a look at our government systems, Government Networks to understand how the adversary is looking at them. To unders
