“I’m thrilled and honored to have been selected to serve as Chairman of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection Subcommittee and to be able to continue the great work we started last Congress improving our nation’s cyber preparedness. Cyberattacks are the preeminent threat of our time, impacting every sector of our economy – from the energy sector to financial services. Our foreign adversaries have grown more advanced making cybersecurity the next arena in which we must build out our national defenses. I thank Chairman Green for selecting me to lead this subcommittee and I look forward to working closely with him to ensure our cyber borders are protected. I also look forward to continuing to work closely with CISA and fostering a strong partnership and open dialog between the public and private sectors in order to face rising threats and strengthen our national cybersecurity posture.”
