Representative Will Hurd (R-TX) talked about his bill to upgrade technology at federal agencies, the Modernizing Government Technology Act. Representative Hurd also assessed U.S. cyber defenses. He said the U.S. needed to do a far better job resisting Russian efforts to meddle with U.S. elections systems. Russia has long been a user of asymmetrical warfare, Representative Hurd said, and he predicted Russia would try to meddle in 2018 U.S. elections. Representative Hurd proposed a cyber national guard, sending high school students to college on scholarships to study cyber topics with the understanding they would serve in federal agencies after college. Representative Hurd is a former cybersecurity analyst and CIA agent. close
