Synopsis
In his testimony, Gregory T. Nojeim outlines the cybersecurity threat and explain why measures appropriate for securing some critical infrastructure systems would be inappropriate for others. He emphasizes that private network operators, not the government, should monitor and secure private sector systems, while the government should monitor and secure its networks. He then discusses some incremental changes in the law that may enhance information sharing without eroding privacy. Finally, He discusses the role that identity and authentication measures, if properly designed and deployed, can play in enhancing security while also protecting privacy.
