With just the Senate in session this week most of the
congressional hearings concern nominations. There is one cybersecurity hearing
that may be of interest to readers of this blog.
The Senate Armed Services Committee will be holding a
hearing on Thursday looking at “Roles and Responsibilities for Defending the
Nation from Cyber Attack”. This is an open hearing, but there may be a closed
(classified) session at the end. The witness list includes:
• Rob Joyce, National Security
Council
• Kenneth P. Rapuano, Department of
Defense
• Scott Smith, Federal Bureau Of
Investigation
• Christopher C. Krebs, Department Of Homeland
Security
There is a distinct possibility that control systems
security issues associated with the electric grid may be discussed at this
hearing, but at a policy level not a technical discussion given the
participants.
