“In terms of bipartisan areas of agreement here in Congress, restoring and expanding those capabilities and those partnerships right now should be a top priority" @Rep_Walkinshaw on @CISAgov at #ncif2026 cyberscoop.com/lawmakers-bip…
"Rep Don Bacon, R-Neb., and Rep James Walkinshaw, D-Va., spoke during a panel at the #NCIF2026. Despite representing different parties, and serving on different congressional committees, the two lawmakers offered closely aligned assessments of CISA’s role" cyberscoop.com/lawmakers-bip…
“Whether you look at the private sector or you look at our governments and public sector networks and systems that we’re supporting, there’s just a tremendous amount of technical debt that’s out there." @CISAgov at #ncif2026 - @CyberScoopNews cyberscoop.com/cisa-chief-fr…
“One of our fundamental strengths in the country is our innovation ecosystem and the fact that every single one of these [LLMs] that comes out and shatters new records is an American company,” Sutton said. “We are the front horse that everybody’s trying to catch up with.”
“I think there’s a lot of opportunity to look at what are the elements of national power that industry can bring to the table,” said Katie Sutton, assistant secretary of war for cyber policy at the Department of War. @NRO nationalreview.com/news/a-wa…
“We see the escalation in terms of speed, scale and velocity of vulnerability discovery to weaponization and exploitation.” @CISAgov at the #nationalcyberinnovatioforum #ncif2026
"Speaking at the #NationalCyberInnovationForum in Washington, D.C., the lawmakers argued that the federal government must move faster to strengthen domestic cyber defenses as AI lowers the barriers for increasingly sophisticated attacks." @MeriTalk meritalk.com/articles/bacon-…
"The U.S. military is slowly beginning to embrace private-sector collaboration. Earlier this month, the Pentagon announced that it will allow seven tech companies — including Google, Microsoft, and Nvidia — to use AI to enhance its computer networks" nationalreview.com/news/a-wa…
“The open-source community is one that I’m particularly worried about when we start to think about rapid escalation of vulnerability discovery,” @CISAgov acting director Nick Andersen said at the #nationalcyberinnovationforum. cyberscoop.com/cisa-chief-fr…
“This hyper-partisanship is making it hard to do the basic things that we need to do to defend our country,” @RepDonBacon added, referencing the CISA cuts. @MeriTalk
"The private sector can add scale and unique capacity to this issue that the government may not have..." [on offensive cyber operations] at the #NationalCyberInnovationForum - @DAlperovitch
“What we really need is a strong CISA that helps protect our domestic networks, our energy grids and things like that" @DonJBacon at #NCIF2026
"The [CCP]’s hand-in-glove relationship with ostensibly private tech firms within its borders has given Beijing a significant leg up in the AI race. If the US is to compete, American policymakers and industry leaders must figure out how to cooperate..." @NRO's Guy Denton
“The Department of War will not match adversary cyber forces in sheer number, rather, we will maintain our advantage in the cyber domain through true domain mastery, essentially creating a ‘quality over quantity’ approach.” AsstSec of War for cyber policy Katie Sutton
As AI accelerates the sophistication and scale of cyberattacks, @RepDonBacon and @Rep_Walkinshaw, said that Congress should prioritize restoring and expanding the @CISAgov capabilities to defend the nation’s critical infrastructure from foreign adversaries meritalk.com/articles/bacon-…

"[W]e should be expanding systems capabilities to protect our domestic, our non-military cyber systems,” @RepDonBacon said at the #NationalCyberInnovationForum. @FederalNewsNet federalnewsnetwork.com/congr…
“China has 10:1 people doing offensive cyber to us. I think we should be expanding our capabilities,”
@RepDonBacon, told @BreakingDefense on the sidelines of the 4th Annual #NationalCyberInnovationForum last week. breakingdefense.com/2026/05/…

Grateful to join @Rep_Walkinshaw at the National Cyber Innovation Forum for an important discussion on AI, cyber innovation and national security. As AI reshapes the cyber domain, Congress must strengthen @CISAgov's capabilities and protect America’s critical infrastructure.

NCIF 2026 #inthenews from @NRO:
“That urgent message was front and center at the 2026 National Cyber Innovation Forum, which took place Thursday at the U.S. Capitol. George Mason University’s National Security Institute brought together government officials, policy analysts, corporate leaders, and other experts to discuss the future of American cybersecurity. One panel, led by National Review’s Ramesh Ponnuru, explored how America can use technology to bolster its national security against foreign threats. Harnessing private enterprise can accelerate these efforts."
