Admiral Michael Rogers and Undersecretary Marcell Lettre testified about cybersecurity threats to the country, including how groups like ISIL* used encrypted technologies to stay hidden while planing and carrying out attacks. Topics included attacks on critical infrastructure.

Armed Services Committee Chair John McCain (R-AZ) talked about media reports that the Obama administration was considering elevating the Department of Defense’s Cyber Command and separating it from the National Security Agency. He said he would block any such proposal and block the confirmation of any person nominated to fill either of the positions. Admiral Rogers, the director of both the NSA and Cyber Command in what is commonly referred to as a “dual hat” role, said that he did not think the two roles should be separated.

*The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS or DAISH/DAESH in Arabic), is a militant group that has called itself the Islamic State. close
