Nextgov\/FCW: Talk about how you prepared for the water-systems security hearing today and any major takeaways from it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clancy:\u00a0<\/strong>We met with the majority and minority staff ahead of the hearing to get a sense of their objectives. Of course, MITRE has a diverse set of sponsors in these areas, so we engaged with them to make sure we were representing a whole-of-government view across the sectors.<\/p>\n

My big message is what I said in my opening statement. A lot of these policy fixes on the fringes\u00a0are not going to deal with the scale of the threat that we face. So if you want to continue to fight against harassment campaigns from nation states\u2026the sorts of solutions people were talking about are probably okay, but I think the big point I want to get across that didn\u2019t get enough air time is that the threat has really changed.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got maybe three years to figure this out before China does an all-out attack against our critical infrastructure. We\u2019re going to have to train and prepare to disconnect our operational technology systems from our information technology systems ahead of a major attack from China.<\/p>\n
