With both the House and Senate in session the focus this
week remains budget hearings. There are no budget hearings of specific interest
this week, but the budget process is still taking up a large portion of
congressional focus. There is only one cybersecurity hearing currently
scheduled for this week though there may be cybersecurity amendments offered in
the NDAA markup process that also begins this week.
NDAA Act
The FY 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is
another priority moving forward. HR 2810
currently has no cybersecurity provisions, but there are gaping holes in the
bill that will be filled-in during the markup process. That process starts this
week in subcommittees of the House Armed Services Committee:
• Subcommittee
on Tactical Air and Land Forces, 6-21-17;
• Subcommittee
on Readiness, 6-22-17;
• Subcommittee
on Strategic Forces, 6-22-17;
• Subcommittee
on Military Personnel, 6-22-17;
• Subcommittee
on Seapower and Projection Forces, 6-22-17;
Cybersecurity
On Wednesday, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs Committee will be holding a
hearing on “Cybersecurity Regulation Harmonization”. The witness list
includes:
• Christopher F. Feeney, BITS/Financial
Services Roundtable
• Dean C. Garfield, Information
Technology Industry Council
• Daniel Nutkis, Health Information
Trust Alliance
• James "Bo" Reese, National
Association of State Chief Information Officers
This will certainly focus on IT cybersecurity, but there may
be some minor attention paid to control system security.
