WASHINGTON — Today, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11), Chairwoman of the House Science Subcommittee on Research and Technology, led a roundtable discussion to examine the role and value of cybersecurity auditing in strengthening the cybersecurity of Federal agencies.

A recent report from the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Senate Homeland Security Committee warns that several federal agencies are relying on outdated systems, failing to implement mandatory cybersecurity measures, neglecting to properly keep track of vulnerable hardware, and ignoring well-known threats and weaknesses.

During today’s roundtable discussion, cybersecurity experts from the public and private sector joined Members of the House Committee on Science, Space & Technology to identify challenges and opportunities for strengthening cybersecurity audits to protect personal data and public safety in the Federal government.
