I'm blown away by how well #Andor is tackling political themes, expanding the world of Star Wars, and giving a cast of fascinating, layered characters their due. Listen to our new @hothtakes episode to find out what we think of #Andor's latest four eps: https://t.co/T5WW2SsNxM — PolitiTweet.org

I've written about how Republicans could take a more confrontational approach to cyber if they win power next week: https://t.co/QJtAGZEg20 The sr admin official said they're "hopeful" that cyber remains a bipartisan issue, "because there’s so much more we need to do." — PolitiTweet.org

How will WH cultivate new allies? Partly in the same way it maintains existing relationships with lawmakers who prioritize certain cyber issues. The SAO said officials regularly consult with @MarkWarner on 5G issues and noted that @SenAngusKing attended a recent IoT event. — PolitiTweet.org

.@JimLangevin, @RepJohnKatko, and @senrobportman are all retiring in January, and the White House knows it'll take time to fill the void they're leaving behind. “The people who have built expertise over many years in cyber … we don’t replace that in a heartbeat,” SAO said. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

“There are a number of folks retiring whose expertise we’ve relied on and partnered with for years that will need to be replaced, and we’ll need to invest ourselves in encouraging folks to get involved,” the senior administration official said in a recent interview. — PolitiTweet.org

In today's @MorningCybersec: With longtime cyber-focused lawmakers retiring, a senior admin official tells us that the Biden WH recognizes that its cyber agenda in the next Congress rests on educating lawmakers & convincing new ppl to step up on the issue. https://t.co/lYTIxbnyvG — PolitiTweet.org

@eleventhirtyate I really want to mock Fortnite, but given that it's where we learned that Palpatine had somehow returned, I am forced to respect its stature — PolitiTweet.org

On cyber incident reporting, Easterly said "it'll probably take about two years or so" for CISA to publish its final rule. That's roughly in line with what Congress expected, though it's longer than many people would like. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

(Easterly's comment about not charging extra for logging is notable, given that Microsoft is still doing that. They gave govt customers a year of free expanded logging https://t.co/yb9R3mnUPl after criticism following SolarWinds https://t.co/ZeGcKlGdEU but that was in April '21.) — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

"We have to have MFA by default. We can't charge extra for security logging and SSO," Easterly said. "We need to ensure that we're coming together to really protect the technology ecosystem, instead of putting the burden on those least able to defend themselves." — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Two major strategic goals for CISA over the next year, per Easterly: * Pushing big companies to "institutionalize cybersecurity as a governance matter" * Pushing tech vendors to adopt secure-by-design secure-by-default and to not charge extra for security features — PolitiTweet.org

"Given what's happening in Russia, what's happening in Ukraine, some of the rhetoric that's coming out of the Russia, it's not the time to put our shields down," Easterly said. "We need to be prepared for potential activity — disruptive, destructive activity." — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Easterly said the government needs "a way … to calibrate [threat warnings] better in terms of regions, in terms of sectors. And that's what we're working on — almost like a National Cybersecurity Alert System — so that we can be more clear about the levels of urgency." — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

"Somebody will forget the key to the polling place. A water pipe will burst," Easterly said. "These are normal things. [They] are not nefarious." — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Easterly stressed the need to not overreact when things go wrong on Election Day. “There are going to be errors. There are going to be glitches. That happens in every election. But that's why there are multiple layers of security controls and resilience built into the system." — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

The Biden admin still considers foreign influence operations "a significant concern," Easterly said, noting recent reports from @Mandiant and others on Chinese election influence ops. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

.@CISAJen just wrapped up a fireside chat with @SpauldingSez at CSIS. Some highlights: "I am very confident that we have done everything we can to make election infrastructure as secure and as resilient as possible," Easterly said. — PolitiTweet.org

.@grace_segers, @byrdinator, and I are back on @hothtakes to talk about the middle third of #Andor. This series just keeps getting better and better. Listen now to find out what we think of its political messages, character development, & world-building: https://t.co/T5WW2SsNxM — PolitiTweet.org

Gotta say it's pretty bleak that the hospital treating Paul Pelosi is named after a donor who made his billions running the internet's largest source of the exact kind of disinformation that radicalized Pelosi's attacker. https://t.co/6IRpRXxkvF — PolitiTweet.org
