Prestigious Group Endorses Cybersecurity Bill
Editor’s Note: The following statement was issued as both a Majority and Minorty media release demonstrating the legislation’s bipartisan support.
STATEMENT OF THE ASPEN HOMELAND SECURITY GROUP
The Aspen Homeland Security Group strongly urges the U.S. Senate to vote this
week to take up S3414, the cyber-security bill, for debate on the floor. We urge
the Senate to adopt a program of voluntary cyber-security standards and strong
positive incentives for critical infrastructure operators to implement those
standards. The country is already being hurt by foreign cyber-intrusions, and the
possibility of a devastating cyber-attack is real. Congress must act now.
