Clarke Hosts Cyber Awareness Events
House Homeland Security Emerging Threats Subcommittee Chairwoman Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., will host a cybersecurity roundtable Friday that will bring together industry representatives and policymakers. The event, which is closed to press and the public, is expected to cover the White House 60-day cyberspace policy review; legal technical and operational obstacles; discussions of current legislative proposals; and recommendations for moving forward, according to the invitation sent to participants.
Clarke spoke at a Tuesday event where she called for the swift appointment of a White House cyber czar and highlighted the urgent need for collaboration and information-sharing among federal agencies, academia, and industry. She will host two additional events this month sponsored by the National Cyber Security Alliance. They will take place Tuesday, Oct. 27 and Friday, Oct. 30. The events are primarily geared toward members and staff to promote good cyber hygiene on congressional networks.
Clarke said earlier this week that ignorance about safe computing "creates vulnerabilities right here on Capitol Hill." October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
