The Role of Congress in Cybersecurity



Congress has established a National Office for Cybersecurity at the White House, now requires federal agencies to conduct independent audits of their information security programs, and has established new policies for agency acquisition and procurement.

Two years ago, Congressman Mike McCaul co-founded the first-ever House Cyber Security Caucus to address these areas of oversight and inconsistency. Join Congressman McCaul in a moderated discussion on agency cybersecurity issues and how Congress can work to streamline U.S. policies for the future.

Join our expert panel and:

  • Learn the next steps in establishing strong, centralized protection of critical information infrastructure
  • Get updated on the House Cyber Security Caucus's plans for creating government-wide policies for operating in cyberspace
  • Discuss recommendations on how your agency should secure its information to best protect national interests
