CYBER SECURITY  

"We are under attack. Every day, cyber thieves, cyber thugs, and cyber terrorists are hacking our systems, trying to take them down. They want to steal our intellectual property, our state secrets and our freedom and our prosperity. Our nation's main line of defense is right here in Maryland.  We are the epicenter of cyber security to defend and protect the United States of America. And we are the epicenter of developing a cyber security workforce prepared for the jobs of today and the jobs of the future." --U.S. Senator Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.)

As both the Chairwoman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice and Science and a member of the Select Committee on Intelligence, where she served on the Cyber Security Task Force, Senator Mikulski has been working to make our country safer and our economy stronger by:

·  Making Maryland the epicenter of cyber security
·  Fighting for funding to catch and prosecute cyber criminals
·  Developing the next generation of cyber warriors
