Sandoval among governors wanting cybersecurity panel
By Sean Whaley, Las Vegas Review-Journal
CARSON CITY — The leadership of the National Governors Association, including incoming chairman Gov. Brian Sandoval, repeated a plea to Congress on Friday to create a national committee to address cybersecurity threats.
Outgoing chairman and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe said cybersecurity, which has become a major threat as evidenced by recent actions including during the 2016 presidential campaign, does not have a single point of contact in Congress.
“We have implored the Congress to have a cybersecurity committee,” he said. “One does not exist today in the Congress.”
