SUBCOMMITTEE ON NATIONAL SECURITYSubcommittee on Information Technology
JULY 13, 2016
PURPOSE:
To examine the strategies and policies of the administration’s response to cybersecurity incidents.
To review the growing market for threat intelligence, the pros/cons of making attribution after cybersecurity incidents, and the benefits of clarifying international norms of cyber operations.
BACKGROUND:
Data breaches at the Office of Personnel Management and at private sector companies have validated a 2013 National Intelligence Estimate that the U.S. is “the target of a massive, sustained cyberespionage campaign that is threatening the country’s economic competitiveness.”
Hostile actors remain undeterred from conducting cyberattacks because of the relatively low costs of entry, the perceived payoff, and the lack of significant consequences.
Russia and China continue to view offensive cyber capabilities as an important geostrategic tool and will almost certainly continue developing them.
