Twitter's CISO has resigned. The Post reports that "several other members of the site’s privacy and security unit" have also left. https://t.co/K3DCnN1ZQ0 — PolitiTweet.org

In the Senate, the biggest determinant of future cyber activity isn't whether Democrats hold the chamber (a House flip means major legislative hurdles & oversight tensions are already inevitable) but whether Paul or Lankford replaces Portman at HSGAC and how much they want to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Overall, if Republicans take the House as expected, we're likely to see more aggressive oversight of agencies like CISA, with more emphasis on meeting metrics and justifying budgets. And the White House can probably say goodbye to legislative proposals for more regulatory power. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

The intelligence committees will probably see the least interruption in their work on cybersecurity, since it's mixed in with broader national security priorities (e.g. commercial spyware and counterintelligence) where there's been bipartisan cooperation. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

There are a few bright spots for cyber watchers. House Energy & Commerce GOP recently signaled continued focus on cyber, esp for energy & healthcare sectors, also two areas of WH cyber focus. But top R Cathy McMorris Rodgers has warned against overly broad regulations. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

The contenders to lead Dems on House Oversight include Gerry Connolly and Stephen Lynch. Connolly noted he'd passed a major IT procurement reform law under a GOP-led Congress. Lynch said he'd "bring urgency" to federal network security by "demanding accountability." — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

House Oversight, which has led the lower chamber's work on federal network security (basic cyber practices, cloud migration, IT procurement reform, etc.), will become a factory of more partisan Biden admin investigations, leaving cyber by the wayside. https://t.co/FhI1utBA19 — PolitiTweet.org

In Senate, Rob Portman will likely be replaced as HSGAC GOP leader by either Rand Paul or James Lankford. Lankford is seen as more open to substantial cyber work, having cosponsored election security bill w/ Amy Klobuchar. But specifics hard to predict w/ chamber control TBD. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Yvette Clarke & Andrew Garbarino are likely to remain the leaders of House Homeland's cyber subcommittee. They've worked pretty well together on an issue that both describe as blessedly bipartisan. One clear priority: monitoring the standup of CISA's incident reporting program. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Clay Higgins said he'd "ensure that CISA has the resources it needs," prioritize improving its ties with the private sector, and seek “a renewed focus on both quantum computing and rapid counterstrike capabilities." “Cybersecurity will remain a key issue," Higgins said. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Dan Crenshaw's spokesperson said he'd conduct more oversight of CISA, push the agency to do more to fight ransomware w/ "mobile training teams” and education, and follow retiring ranking member John Katko's CISA vision statement https://t.co/iacTfdyqHW which emphasizes metrics. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Two of the three contenders to lead House Homeland GOP did tell us their plans for cyber oversight and policymaking. But b/w their own instincts and the demands of their panel members and broader caucus, expect the border to still dominate. We know less about the Senate panel. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

The House and Senate homeland security panels have powered Congress's historic emphasis on cybersecurity over the past two years. With GOP panel leaders retiring and their replacements likely to prioritize border security and other partisan topics, that's about to end. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

What a likely GOP House takeover means for cyber: * Less progress on major issues * Uphill battle for WH regulation push * New skepticism of CISA budget boosts Watch homeland panel leadership races in both chambers. My and @magmill95's new story: https://t.co/kznX9eem4E — PolitiTweet.org
