Hurd Applauds Cybersecurity Bill

The United States House passed a cybersecurity bill carrying a big impact locally.

The National Cybersecurity Preparedness Consortium Act allows non-profits and universities, like UTSA, to work closely with Homeland Security, addressing risks and incidents at the state and local levels.

Congressman Joaquin Castro said communities can benefit from the Alamo City’s cybersecurity work. He called UTSA a leader of the National Cybersecurity Preparedness Consortium.

“This legislation allows consortiums like UTSA’s to share their cyber expertise with communities across our nation,” Castro said. “Increased collaboration will strengthen our defenses and keep us one step ahead of cyber attackers.“

“I’m hopeful the Senate will follow the House’s lead, pass this bill, and protect the American people from a growing threat to their safety,” Castro said. For the full article click here
