NTSC Publishes Op-Ed in “The Hill” About Rep. Katko’s (R-NY) Cybersecurity Advisory Committee Authorization Act of 2019
The National Technology Security Coalition (NTSC) is supporting bipartisan legislation introduced by Representatives John Katko (R-NY), Dan Lipinski (D-IL), Dan Newhouse (R-WA), and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) to establish the Cybersecurity Advisory Committee (CSAC). The Cybersecurity Advisory Committee Authorization Act of 2019 will establish an advisory committee of 35 cybersecurity professionals from across industries to provide the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) guidance on cybersecurity policy and rulemaking.
To further communicate about the importance of this bill, NTSC Executive Director Patrick Gaul recently published an op-ed in The Hill titled “Cybersecurity Advisory Committee will strengthen national security through a stronger public-private partnership.” In this piece, Patrick talks about why we’re moving in the right direction with the establishment of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), why we must ensure a high degree of public-private sector collaboration, and why the NTSC’s CISO members are prepared to serve on the Cybersecurity Advisory Committee to help better protect the U.S. from cyberattacks.
