In response to a Hawley Q about reported Chinese hacking of several agencies through a different SolarWinds bug https://t.co/1mcEJifVdj both Ugoretz and Wales say those news reports were "inaccurate." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Jacky Rosen: Are you considering expanding your vulnerability disclosure program requirement to federal vendors? Wales: No. “It's not clear that we would necessarily need to do that through a directive.” We could use the contracting process. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Hassan: What are you planning to build on top of CDM? Wales: Better endpoint detection and response capabilities so we can spot and stop malicious activity more quickly, before it can spread. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Wales: "We are hopeful that new guidance will come out of the administration soon that will move us towards … having broader and deeper insights into [agency networks]." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Maggie Hassan asks about CDM deployment. Wales notes that, in some cases, CDM tools have given agencies more visibility into their networks but haven't given CISA that same visibility, which was part of the problem with SolarWinds. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Carper: Any agency communication or collaboration issues that we should try to fix? Wales: “We are very happy with the degree of collaboration we are getting and what that relationship looks like between CISA [and other agencies] when it comes to [these] types of compromises.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Carper asks Wales and Ugoretz if they would support a national data breach disclosure law. Both say yes, citing the need for more information about the tactics that adversaries are using. — PolitiTweet.org

Portman: Shouldn’t the National Cyber Director be the one with ultimate accountability? Wales: FISMA makes agency heads accountable for their defenses. NCD envisioned as a coordinator, particularly for incident response. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Portman: Who should be held accountable when a cyberattack happens? DeRusha says multiple agencies have to work together. Portman: So no one is accountable? DeRusha: “Everyone has a key role to play here [with] their authorities, and we work quite well together.” — PolitiTweet.org

"We find that it's most powerful when we are able to say, with detail and as transparently as possible, how exactly adversaries conducted this activity and ultimately who was behind it," Ugoretz says. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
On the attribution front, FBI's Tonya Ugoretz says, "The effort to develop that information investigatively continues." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Wales: How do we know SolarWinds threat isn’t still lurking in networks? Wales: “CISA is working with each [affected agency] to ensure that they have executed the remediation of their networks that provides us a degree of confidence that the adversary is no longer present.” — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller
Peters: Core reason for these failures and what are you doing about that? Wales: Lack of visibility. Our defenses still rely on perimeter sensors that look for known malicious activity. We're moving more into the interior of networks to hunt for threats. — PolitiTweet.org

OMB is leading federal agencies in moving to zero-trust architecture, DeRusha says, but "successful implementation will require a shift in mindset and focus at all levels within federal agencies." No kidding. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
DeRusha thanks Congress for approving $650m for CISA and $1b for the Technology Modernization Fund in the Covid bill. “We fully acknowledge that security is expensive when done properly, but it is even more costly when it is neglected.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
“I believe we're at a crossroads for our nation’s cybersecurity,” Federal CISO Chris DeRusha tells the committee. "This incident should serve as both a wakeup call and a galvanizing opportunity... to tackle these problems...with renewed resolve." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Portman notes that CISA's EINSTEIN network monitoring program failed to stop SolarWinds. “EINSTEIN’s authorization expires at the end of next year, so it's a good time to consider its utility and how it can be improved.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Ranking member Rob Portman: “It's been three months since we learned this attack, and there's still a lot, frankly, that remains unknown.” — PolitiTweet.org

Peters: “This hearing is the first of several that we are going to be holding on this issue. We must tackle this problem, we must do it swiftly, but we must also do it comprehensively.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Peters: “It is clear from the gravity of this threat that we need to examine whether CISA, the FBI and other agencies have what they need to protect the American people.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
HSGAC Chair Gary Peters: “The process and procedures for responding to cyberattacks desperately needs to be modernized,” including by reforming FISMA and streamlining information sharing. — PolitiTweet.org
