(Watch) Senator Hwang in Public Safety Committee Public Hearing on Cybersecurity

State Senator Tony Hwang introduced SB 709 to create a specialized division within the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP) dedicated to creating and maintaining a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity. Sen. Hwang envisions that this approach includes cooperating with federal government, across state agencies, with corporations and small business, and to help the average citizen take control of their own online security.

Watch these two clips of Senator Hwang questioning DESPP Commissioner James Rovella and Connecticut’s Chief Cyber Security Risk Officer Arthur House about why SB 709 is a crucial measure for protecting the state and the nation.
