Cybersecurity refers to the technologies and processes designed to protect computers, networks and data from unauthorized access, including attacks by cyber criminals via the Internet. However, crimes committed by hackers are not the only way sensitive information stored on computers is lost. Many security breaches result from mistakes committed by computer system users, such as uploading unintended data or unwittingly divulging information used to gain access to their systems. Civilian hackers often target the personnel databases of organizations and institutions to steal personal and financial information such as social security numbers, addresses and bank account numbers. Foreign governments hack our computer systems to steal classified military information and industrial secrets. Cybersecurity advocates say better reporting and communication of hacking events between the government and private sector will help investigations and create strategies that can counter this sizable threat.

- I oppose reforming current cybersecurity policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Speaker Mike Johnson (LA) .
- I support creating a grant program for states, local, and Tribal governments to boost their cybersecurity defenses, especially against ransomware, by funding training, planning, and tools to secure information systems by: 1.) Authorizing $1 billion in funding over four years for cybersecurity grants. a $500 million grant program to provide State and local, Tribal, and Territorial governments with dedicated funding to secure their networks from ransomware and malicious digital attacks. 2.) Requiring states receiving funds to pass through at least 80% of the grant money to local governments, with a minimum of 25% allocated to rural areas. 3.) Requiring applicants to develop and submit a comprehensive cybersecurity plan to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) for approval. And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Rep. Yvette Clarke (NY) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
