Congress Waking Up to Cybersecurity Threat to Critical Infrastructure

A flurry of bills are being introduced.

Both the House and the Senate have committees hearing testimony on the threat of foreign nations hacking into our critical infrastructure systems that run our 21st-century economy. See Congress mobilizes on cyber threats to electric grid.

None of this talk about the threat is new. We have known about the challenges posed by our potential adversaries for many years. What is new is the current attention being paid to the issue by Congress.
