America Exposed: Politicization and Its Impact on Cybersecurity

Long a bastion of bipartisanship, American cybersecurity is under new strain as lawmakers continue to move further away from compromise.

Join our panel of cyber security experts as we discuss Issue One’s latest report and hear how partisanship is hamstringing our response to foreign cyber threats. We will hear a first hand example with a short exploration of Congress’ failure to reauthorize the Cyber Infrastructure Security Act of 2015 and the urgent need for a full 10-year reauthorization.

Panelists include:

• Kim Wyman: Former Washington Secretary of State and Senior Election Security Advisor at CISA and current President of Election Security & Innovation Consulting
• Patrick J. Murphy: Executive Director at Hilco Global’s Geopolitical Advisory Unit, former Under Secretary of the Army, and the first Iraq War veteran elected to Congress
