But what does that mean?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past six months, the Department of Homeland Security has stood up a new cyber risk center. The Trump administration has announced it will undertake more offensive cyber operations. And the Pentagon has promised to deter foreign hackers in cyberspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But significantly expanding the government\u2019s cyber efforts will require additional dollars from Capitol Hill appropriators. And following this month\u2019s midterm elections, Congressional aides are skeptical the near-term budget outlook will drastically change after Democrats take control of the House and Republicans lead the Senate. Instead, they expect another continuing resolution in the coming years. Such an agreement would limit new funds for a growing number of cyber initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In hearings this week, some of the federal government\u2019s cyber leaders said they need additional dollars in the next year. Offering a window of hope, both Democratic and Republican aides told Fifth Domain that cybersecurity is one of the few issues that has bipartisan support on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Department of Homeland Security \u201cmust have the internal capacity to fulfill its missions,\u201d Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., told Fifth Domain in a statement. \u201cI will advocate for robust funding for the new cybersecurity agency Congress finally authorized on Tuesday that is commensurate with its important responsibilities and ensures that DHS is able to provide timely assistance in response to requests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked by lawmakers Nov. 14 if the Department of Homeland Security needed new funding, Jeanette Manfra, one of Homeland Security\u2019s senior cyber leaders, was blunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018We can do more with more,\u201d she told Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La., during a joint hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richmond asked whether it was fair that the Pentagon received $8 billion for its cyber budget while Homeland Security received $1 billion. The Pentagon has a broad portfolio, responded Kenneth Rapuano, the agency\u2019s assistant secretary for homeland defense and global security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe great majority of that funding goes to development of weapons systems with cyber resilience and cybersecurity capabilities to the services,\u201d Rapuano said. He added that the defense information system and the chief information officer also account for large shares of the Pentagon\u2019s budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pentagon weapons are also dangerously vulnerable to cyberattack, and defense leaders are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/critical-infrastructure\/2018\/10\/09\/are-pentagon-weapons-systems-vulnerable-to-cyber-attacks-heres-what-the-gao-says\/\" target=_blank>expected<\/a> to invest in protecting new purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon has discussed \u201cthe equivalent of a cyber Stafford act,\u201d which would provide emergency assistance in the event of a cyberattack, Lt. Gen. Bradford Shwedo, a director of C4 capabilities at the Defense Department told lawmakers. The Stafford Act gives the federal government additional powers and resources in the event of a natural disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funding will not be the only cyber priority in the house. Aides for Democratic lawmakers told Fifth Domain they expect greater oversight over corporations regarding false or misleading statements over cybersecurity. One House aide expressed frustration that voting machine and IoT companies have not been held accountable for dubious claims regarding the cybersecurity protections embedded in their products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congressional aides are skeptical that the budget outlook will drastically change from this deadlock, casting doubt over whether the Trump administration will be able to fund cybersecurity initiatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":39385,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"8":{"categories":["home","daily-brief","newsletters"],"primary_category":"home"}}},"categories":[4109,106,29,32],"tags":[],"coauthors":[2917],"class_list":["post-16326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-congress","category-daily-brief","category-home","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"UEL5N2EPJZAQPGZRZ7SKRRENWQ","arc_canonical_url":"\/congress\/capitol-hill\/2018\/11\/16\/cyber-will-be-a-priority-for-new-congress-but-what-does-that-mean\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Cyber will be a priority for new Congress.
