"Saudi officials, the FBI said in its bulletin, 'perceive the embarrassment of Saudi citizens enduring the US judicial process is greater than the embarrassment of the United States learning the [KSA] surreptitiously removes citizens with legal problems from the United States." — PolitiTweet.org

Josh Gottheimer: How would you compare Colonial’s compliance with that of other pipeline operators? Proctor: Their requests to reschedule a security assessment were “not unusual” during the pandemic. Other companies also asked for delays for public-health reasons. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Goldstein says "after recent intrusions … we are seeing a real increase" in reporting to CISA and consultation of CISA guidance. "In the week after the Colonial intrusion, I think we saw an increase [in] views of a ransomware guide [by] something like 400% for that week after." — PolitiTweet.org

Jake LaTurner: “It's concerning to me that we don't have one point of contact who controls the budgets, who can force these different bureaucracies to come together” and make sure we respond cohesively to cyberattacks. He doesn't sound convinced that an NCD alone can solve this. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Andrew Clyde just asked Goldstein, if CISA doesn't have an offensive capability, do you know if that exists somewhere else in our country? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Watson Coleman: How will TSA verify that pipeline operators are reporting accurate information? Proctor: “We are developing a second security directive which … will require more specific mitigation measures" and assessment criteria. Regulators trained at Idaho National Lab. — PolitiTweet.org

Diana Harshbarger: How many victims pay ransoms? Goldstein: “We don’t have a good number today. … It is largely voluntary whether a victim … does report to either CISA or federal law enforcement.” — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Thompson: Do we need companies to comply more voluntarily? Goldstein: “CISA right now is urgently focused on making best use of the voluntary partnership model..." Thompson: Concerned about voluntary approach. Companies know they don't have to comply. Creates serious risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Bennie Thompson: What new authority do you need? Goldstein: We need visibility into risks. Thompson: How do we codify that authority? Goldstein: The more Congress can do to drive companies to report incidents, the more information CISA will have to act on. — PolitiTweet.org

Garbarino: Did CISA raise concerns about DOE being put in charge of the Colonial response? Goldstein: There were three aspects to Colonial. DHS/CISA played key role on incident response and broader national response. DOE led on fuel supply issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Goldstein on Cyber Sentry: “It is deployed across a limited number of highly critical entities, but we have seen significant success with this program thus far … and we look forward to further maturing the pilot as we go forward.” — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Clarke, who wants to expand CISA's Cyber Sentry program, asks Goldstein to describe it. He says it involves (1) deploying COTS technology to detect cyber threats moving from IT to OT environments and (2) using sensitive intelligence to hunt for specific threats there. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Gimenez: I’m worried that different regulators will underemphasize the need to protect their sectors’ cybersecurity. Shouldn’t CISA become the nationwide cyber regulator? Goldstein dodges, saying CISA's authority "under current law" is to advise other agencies incl. regulators. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Gimenez: Does CISA recommend how regulators should write regulations? Goldstein: We offer expertise to them and may produce equipment- or sector-specific warnings, but we don’t tell them how to regulate. — PolitiTweet.org

@swin24 @morningmoneyben @samstein @cbudoffbrown Born loser Ben White (racist name?) can't even do a mean tweet without the haters piling on to point out his many flaws. Not very impressive! — PolitiTweet.org

Proctor: “TSA, in close coordination with the department and CISA, continues to explore ways to mitigate threats through additional cybersecurity measures," as senior administration officials previewed when announcing the initial pipeline security directive. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

TSA's Sonya Proctor says the agency has expanded its pipeline security team from 6 people to 34 people. A senior administration official told reporters recently that TSA's employees have been getting cyber training from CISA and elsewhere. — PolitiTweet.org

@RachAClark they're building back better — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Cyber RM Andrew Garbarino says CISA "still has a lot to prove to the Hill" and must demonstrate its value. "You're going to have to be forceful in staking your claim to ensure you're all leading the charge on major cyber incidents." — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Clarke, like Watson Coleman and transpo RM Carlos Gimenez, criticizes FBI for refusing to testify. “You [cannot] espouse the virtues of a whole-of-government response one minute and then refuse to appear before the Congress with your interagency partners the next.” — PolitiTweet.org
