Challenges that state governments face. This discussion was hosted by the National Governors association at its 2017 summer meeting in prove dins rhode island. They took questions from governors in attendance following their remarks. This is just over a hour. Well, i would like to welcome everyone to the great state ril rhode island. Before i get started, i would like to recognize some of the very distinguished guess its who we have with us. I would ask they pleas stand when we recognize you. I would first, as you see at this summer meeting, that first is the first time weve actually had a head of state, Prime Minister trudeau will be with us today, we have representatives from all over the globe to show the importance of the governors and dealing with International Trade and Business Development issues around the globe and we want to do direct, direct relationships with many of these countries and businesses who have come to visit us at the nga. I thank them. I want to thank china. I want to thank the ambassador from china. He and his group were here yesterday. If we can get them a great round of applause for hosting our opening lunch.

As we kick off this meeting, i also want to take a moment to recognize the support of many of our partners and supporters who we could not have the meeting without your support and funds our best practices and all the different initiatives of the governors. For nearly 30 years the nga has partnered with the private sector with our newly relaunched nga partners program. They help support the organization not only financially but intellectually with the sharing of best practices, as well as helping the nga stay tuned in the emergency policy trends that are happening in our individual states. A big thank you to all of our partners who are here with us today. Governors, thank them. Next i would like to wheres good r wheres our host governor. Well skip that. Ill let her as soon as she gets here, well hear from our opening governor. I would like to first of all have a adoption for a motion for the adoption of the rules of procedure for this meeting. Would anyone make the motion . Governor malloy. May i have a second . All those all those in favor say aye, all opposed say no. The motion is approved. Governors as you know under our policy process we adopt policies for two years at our winter meeting if anyone has questions regarding the policies i would ask you to see anna davis of the nga staff while youre here. I would like to announce the appointment of the following governors to the nominating committee for the 2016, 2017 nga executive id like to welcome governor sandoval who is here today. If you would give the governor a great round of applause. So, let me start off by saying first of all, buy main goal which launching my initiative which was cybersecurity was to elevate the importance of cybersecurity on every single governors agenda i wanted to highlight why cybersecurity was more than just a Information Technology issue. I wanted to show you cybersecurity is a health issue, Public Safety issue and a economic issue as well as a democracy issue. When i launched my initiative i would not have known cybersecurity would capture the National Headlines that we experienced, including last years president ial election. As you know in november, thousands of internet connected devices including security cameras that were a ocean away issued a cyber attract which brought down we saw a cyber attack that the world has never experienced before. The wanna cry ransomeware looked out users from all across the globe and made it impossible for doctors and other practitioners to access their devices. Experts today are still assessing the impact of this incident. And potentially, more worry some that we are now seeing adversaries use Cyber Attacks to attempt to influence elections not only here but in europe. Through our knew initiative, we have con seend experts from cybersecurity policy from the state government, the private sector, to Higher Education and to all the federal agencies involved to discuss this critical issue and to identify ways for all of us to meet the threat. Let me just say as it relates to virginia, in virginia we have taken very significant steps over the paftd three years to address cybersecurity for our kmn wealth for now and beyond. We have the Largest Naval base in the world, the pentagon, quantico and 27 military installations that are constant lie under skault. Last weree expanded cybersecurity apprenticeships were allowing businesses to stand up to kieb security occupations. In virginia if you come wok for the state for two years, we will pay your education to get a cybersecurity degree. Weve reeted partnerships and Educational Opportunities and scholarships around the commonwealth. I launched the cyber vets program to providing cyber training to our vets. We have 37,000 open jibe jobs, those 36,000 jobs, the starting pay is 88,000. You do not need a four year degree. It is a two year degree or less, and its imperative for all of us as governors to make sure were building that work force of the 21st century. Earlier this year we entered a strategy to make virginia a National Resource center for cybersecurity education. We have a Award Winning cybersecurity education in place. As we know as governors it requires continued till generals. We might be in great shape today but tom some cyber hacker will come up with technology to get into our system. Government is a attractive targ. We have more clegt i have data than the federal government through our drivers license, health care, medicaid programs, state tax returns, many of the cyber hackers feel the best opportunity to get that data is to come into the states because of the wealth of data that we have. It takes a commitment of all the governors to keep our families and our businesses safe. These threats do not stop at state lines. Since july, we have accomplished a lot since we he the in. We held a series of round tables focusing on the cybersecurity risks facing the health sector, institutional, weve spent significant time highlighting the opportunities cybersecurity press for all of us and the opportunities of a more connected society and a vibrant technology economy. As you know, we have held two soldouteevents, one in boston and san jose where many of you have sent teams of officials to discuss cybersecurity issues and apply as ive said from day one, if we do a great job in virginia, but there are states that dont do anything as it relates to cybersecurity, they will reach our state through a back door through a healthcare provider, insurance provider or some other business that is doing business with both of our states. So, these summits some minimum indicated in a natural summit in june where 45 dates attended and learned about how future cyber trends and how to cues invate i have technology to many of you remember at our winter card we gave you a cyber score card that highlighted the areas where you are exceeding, areas that you could use a little more help, and areas that you need your full and immediate attention. This continues to be a useful high level tool that you and your team can utilize to track your progress. Our cyber best Practices Center how has the updated report cards for all of you. We were also joined in february by admiral rogers the commander of the u. S. Cyber con and the director of National Security agency for a off the record discussion about how the states, National Guard and the Cyber Command can Work Together. He stressed to all of us governors that we are at the forefront. That he cannot do his job as head of the National Security agency if we in the states are not doing our part. We held a joint governors senator meeting on cybersecurity priorities and challenges of the United States congress. We had a great group of governors to meet, we went up and met with the leadership of the house and senate. We have implored the congress to have a cybersecurity committee. One does not exist today in the congress, it is spread among many of the different committees, and there is jurisdictional territories where people have not wanted to give up some of their jurisdiction. We as governors call upon the congress to put together a National Committee to deal with this issue and to put funding in so we at the state level can do in our jobs. Lastly we put together 18 documents that highlighted the recommendations and best practices of the National Guard, Cybersecurity Response plans, and work force develop many. That, you can all implement in your states startic today. You all have those documents in front of you and theyre maintained at the nga cyber resource page, nga. Org, this is the package all of you have in front of you. It has all the latest data. It has when you need to do as a governor to make sure your state is up and meeting the threat of cybersecurity. What we saw last fall was only the beginning. Richard clark, who is a National Expert on cybersecurity, adviser for four president s briefed me the other day and said the actions we saw last year as it relates to russia and other nation states is only the beginning. It is only going to ramp up. And they want to ramp up by coming after that state data. So, i would say it is incumbent upon us as governors to make sure that we are doing our part to keep our states and our nation safe. Most of you have gun implementing these recommendations we say thank you. Since the launch of my initiative 30 governors have signed a executive order or legislation or announced a cybersecurity initiative. This has resulted in a dozen executive orders, 14 signed bills, and 17 initiatives. In idaho, for example, the governor is imt plementing recommendations made by his cyber body and reextent sent lie named a cybersecurity director. In new mexico, clairfied when the National Guard can be used during a cyber event. In oregon, Governor Brown signed a executive order to move all cybersecurity into one agency. Governor sandoval signed a bill to create a Cyber Defense center to lead all their cyber projects in their state. More can be done. There are now at least 34 pending bills in state lettfgt yours that you can add advocate for and push. Although these are great accomplishments we must mother complacent. Criminals will pursue vulnerabilities in our defenses that will harm our citizens steal our resources. That is my initiative little life on. Through this center, the nga staff will continue to assist your states in implement best practices and be a lasting resource for you and your staff. Before we go on to our speakers and our discussion, i do want to give a special shoutout to jeff and tim and ask them and all the folks who worked on cybersecurity, if they could stand up and you could give them a great round of applause for the great work they have done. Thank you gentlemen. And before we get to the speakers, i see that our host governor has arrive. I know she was busy doing interviews outside. But i would like to turn it over to you if you would like to give a opening statement. I want to thank governor. Im proud to say a record number, 33 governors and 1800, 1800 folks have signed up to come to this, which is by far more than three times more than weve ever had. I know its because of our great governor and the great state of rhode island. I want to thank you. I know the time and work you put into this. On behalf of the governors thank you and its great to be in rhode island. Thank you, terry. Thank you good morning for those i havent seen yet, welcome to rhode island. We are very pleased with the turnout. It has broken every record as i understand i. I want to thafrpg all of you, some of whom have traveled very far to be here. I also want to thank and acknowledge terry for his leadership on this issue. It is true that youll be leaving us as the chair, but i think you should feel great about your legacy because you started a initiative that many of us have followed. I know i did. I signed a executive order around cyber, put a task force in place, and have hired for the First Time Ever a director of cyber and Homeland Security reporting directly to me. So, i think were all doing our part. The hardest part of all of this, of course, is behavior change. And i would love to hear technology is one thing, resources, this is really about getting people to change the way they do when they log on, if they change pass words, how they do their business. And thats even harder than the technology. And so i think as we go forward, under governor sandovals leadership, anything we can do to focus on that would be helpful. Were thrilled to have everybody rhode island. Noon were having a governor only session with two important ceos. The ceo of cvs, and the ceo of igt, both very substantial companies and sponsors of this event. Thats at noon. Governors only. And id love it if all of you guys could be there. Thank you. Thank you governor. So back to the cybersecurity to add a little more context it the issue weve discussing, were honored we have three great speakers and i appreciate them coming. Matt spens is a partner at adegreesen horowitz. Raytheon company, the Vice President of raytheon. These speakers are here to provide a window into the future of cyber secure, what it will mean for your states and how we can take advantage of the tremendous opportunities in this sector. Id like to turn it over to matt. Matt, the floor is yours. Thank you very much. Thank you for the invitation to speak about cybersecurity. In particular for your initiative in raising this issue to the governors in this area. By way of background, im a partner of the Venture Capital flirm, we invest in new and exciting and emerging technologies, everything from Artificial Intelligence to drones to Financial Technology to Health Technology to Companies Like airbnb and lyft and cybersecurity companies, like tanium where chris is at and other companies we look to have some of the most exciting technologies which have a huge impact on the work you are doing. I spent time in National Security positions in the obama administration. I was at the white house at the National Security council, where i spent hundreds of hours in the white house situation room dealing with everything from the planning of the operation against oe sauma bin lauden to trade issues to cybersecurity issues which were some of the most is serious and significant that pervaded nearly everything we talked about. I spent time as Deputy Assistant secretary of defense dealing with some of those issues from the defense perspective. I say that by way of framing to take two different perspectives to open up what we think about some of the cybersecurity issues. From the situation room to the board room of what companies and states face every day. And where things are going, i want to say two things that may seem a little counterintuitive. If the question is where is cybersecurity going in the next five to ten years, part of the question is to look back ten years. It was ten years ago last month that the iphone came out as a product. Something that is fundamentally changed the way we think about come mers and other types of things. But if you look back, the conversation about cybersecurity has not changed very much over the last five years. We still talk very much about the upcoming pearl harbor of a cyber attack. We talk about the threat. But actually what has happened that needs to change has not changed very much. The fundamental issue is not actually one of technology, as governor but is one of Human Behavior. It is doing some of the basic work of hygiene and good Health Related to cybersecurity and changing behaviors that leave us all vulnerable. Thats where governors and Political Leadership comes in. The second thing i want to say is there is tremendous opportunities were not necessarily paying attention to. When i was at the Defense Department, i headed up working middle east policy. Its possible to hear about the threats until you want to go home and take a nap and not worry about whats going on. What we dont spend time talking about as much is what the opportunities are. And i would say as we think about the threats of cybersecurity, a critical part of the conversation is not to talk about the enormous opportunities here. The internet, Artificial Intelligence, driverless cars, the enormous amount of connectedness we have create vulnerabilities, we need to think about and coordinate and stop from hurting us. But at the same time the very innovation that drives those technologies drives our economy. And when we think about the roles of governors and regulation is to come up with the right balance to encolonel that innovation, enturj the technologies that create threats but use it to drive our econo
