The head of the House Foreign Affairs Committee praised the State Department’s proposed formation of a new cyber bureau as “welcomed” in terms of pulling together global partners for national security and protecting the U.S. economy from cyber intrusions.
In a Tuesday letter to Chairman Ed Royce (R-Calif.) with the proposal attached, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson stressed that “cyberspace policy affects almost every aspect of modern American life and it is a critical foreign policy imperative,” and “with increasing incidents of disruptive global cyber attacks, including some sponsored by nation states, and the emergence of the digital economy dependent on internet connectivity, U.S. international leadership in this area will be important in the years to come.”
