The Congressman, The Commission, and Our Critical Infrastructure

Hack the Plant

Congressman Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) has been instrumental in setting up the Cyberspace Solarium Commission, a bipartisan, intragovernmental body whose goal is to help create a strategic approach to defending the United States from cyber attacks of significant consequence (and for listeners of this podcast, that definitely means attacks on our critical infrastructure). Congressman Gallagher's background in the Marines, and work in the public and private sectors, gives him a unique position to help create law around the intersection of national security and cybersecurity as the two become "kitchen table issues", as he tells his constituents.
