==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.
