Lawmakers are pushing Congress to overhaul how it oversees the nation’s cybersecurity, including by adding new committees dedicated to the issue.
The effort gained momentum after the hack of SolarWinds computer network management software, which roiled the federal government and served as a wake-up call about widespread vulnerabilities in U.S. computer networks.
A lofty but critical cybersecurity dream that must turn into reality
In the name of national security and America’s economic future, it is time for the House and Senate to establish dedicated cybersecurity committees. Between the SolarWinds attack, constant digital battles with foreign actors like China, Iran, and Russia and the increasing reliance on the internet for our critical infrastructure, we must streamline cybersecurity authority and oversight in Congress. The broken committee structure overseeing cybersecurity hobbles our responsiveness and leaves holes in our defenses. As Senators gear up to improve the overall function of Congress, they should not leave cybersecurity jurisdictional questions behind.
