FCC Cyber Security Broadband Workshop

The recent Cyber Security Broadband Workshop was a fascinating discussion, featuring panelists from a diverse group of backgrounds and perspectives. We explored solutions and discussed many of the challenges that government and the private sector face in achieving cyber security as a matter of public safety and economic security. So much of our lives rely on the Internet and the need to secure our online infrastructure is critically important, so I want to highlight just a few take-aways from the workshop. The experts agree that cyber security is not a barrier to broadband deployment, but methods of prevention, detection and restoration must continually be developed. The public must have knowledge of what cyber attacks are and where they may come from and stay alert. We all must do our part. As technologies get more sophisticated, so do the threats.
