Cybersecurity Caucus Created for U.S. House of Representatives

Created by Rodney Petersen (EDUCAUSE) on September 17, 2008

Congressman Jim Langevin (Dem.-RI), Chair of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Emerging Threats, Cybersecurity and Science and Technology, has announced the creation of a House Cybersecurity Caucus. The purpose of this Caucus is to raise awareness and provide a forum for Members representing different committees of jurisdiction to discuss the challenges in securing cyberspace.

“Congress plays a key role in the future of cybersecurity policy,” said Langevin. “Just as this Administration has not spoken with one voice, however, committee jurisdictional squabbles threaten to divide the attention and focus of Congress on these issues. That is why this Caucus is so important.”

Langevin said the caucus "has already received great support from a number of members" and he looked forward to hosting a kick-off event in January.
