Top cybersecurity professionals warned House lawmakers on Tuesday that a government shutdown would expose U.S. agencies to a crush of new cyberattacks and damage the Biden administration’s response.
Executives from top cybersecurity companies told the House Homeland Security Committee that any shutdown would hamper the Biden administration’s ability to respond to dangerous digital attacks.
Federal officials are already working to overcome a China-linked hack that spread through the Commerce and State departments earlier this year, with the prospect of a government shutdown this fall hanging over their heads. CrowdStrike’s Robert Sheldon similarly told Congress to expect bad results if the government shutters.
Intrusion co-founder Joe Head said Congress needs to develop ways to fund new cyber programs and responses to new digital breaches while operating under stopgap spending legislation. Armis, CGI Federal and CrowdStrike all work with the federal government and likely stand to benefit financially from future taxpayer spending for the agencies that are their customers and users.
