Langevin Wants To Prevent 'Cyber 9/11'
It's been a bleak April for the nation's cybersecurity. With hacks reported in the U.S. electrical grid and the Pentagon's Joint Strike Fighter program -- not to mention the continuing specter of debilitating worms and viruses -- officials are facing a battery of new questions about a persistent problem. Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., co-founded and co-chairs the House Cybersecurity Caucus, and he recently co-chaired a cybersecurity report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies for the 44th presidency. In a recent interview with National Journal, Langevin discussed the importance of a national cyberspace office in the White House and a comprehensive security effort throughout not just the government, but the private sector as well.
