Thank you very much. I want to just start by thanking you and the chamber. Your proactive leadership on this topic i think is second to none and i think youre doing a Great Service for the Global Community in what youre doing. What i, what i want to do is very briefly provide a private sector view on the environment, the importance of information sharing in particular and the obstacles that we face and a little bit of a call to action before introducing admiral rogers. So let me start with something that everyone here obviously wellunderstands. The range of attacks we experience in the private sector is really unprecedented and getting worse by the day. The volume and sophistication of attacks is only showing signs of acceleration. And every published success simply encourages new entrants and bolder moves. Threat actors from social activists, cyber criminals, nation states, ....
, in themy question energy sector, we dont differentiate between physical threats and Cyber Threats. We drill with the assumption that they will probably do both at the same time if it is a sophisticated attack. To be frank, the militarys response in its own protection seems to be focused on isolation as a tactic for dealing with the idea of the grid going down. I wonder if you could talk to that a little bit. As tempting as isolation is as a strategy for response, it also potentially makes security a lot more difficult if you have individual grids all over the place. If you could talk about isolation versus integration. Isolation works at a tactical level for immediate shortterm periods. It is not a comprehensive, sustainable strategy. It is this idea of, i will just shut the network down. It is not that it is a bad thing at the tactical level. If you are looking at a base, an installation as opposed to an entire grid or sector. I ....
Well continue to invest in our capabilities but i look to use the fordnal as think after company as a fort, we have no know when were under attack but at the same time it is incredibly valuable to know when a neighbors fort is under attack or adversaries are marshaling their forces in the forest getting ready to attack. When theyre back in the home Country Building weaponry to attack the fort. My view, the probably singlebest control that any company could have is transparency around whats happening around us, with our sector, cross sectors and with the government. Said another way, i believe that the lowest cost, highest value control is information sharing. That information sharing has the best roi of any investment any of us could make in the system of cyber protection. One companys detected moment can become an entire sectors defense or cross sector defense. And further, no one entity can stand alone. Not a single business, ....
Contra cost California Transportation Authority last week. They have the new test track for the mercedes Autonomous Vehicle thats going to be located in their county x he said one of the things and he said one of the things in the future, benefits that he sees is that these vehicles could benefit to the county, that these vehicles could go out and detect potholes and immediately transmit the data back to the contra costa or any Transportation Authority so that thered be be a fleet of vehicles that would be communicating information in realtime so that they could maintain the Transportation System better. I just wonder ored from mr. Scribner and mr. Otoole whats your view of that and the cost, also, of transmitting all this d ....
And i am the only candidate that has a plan to expand the hope scholarship for the middle class. We have to do it. The rhetoric you are providing is not going to get us there. If we need to circle back, we will, but we will move on. The georgia lottery is always searching for new ways to raise revenue and keep up with demand for the hope. Would you ever support casino style gambling . I do not favor racing. We have allowed the use of online purchasing of lottery tickets and lottery proceeds and we think it will produce additional revenue. We have seen the machines in many Convenience Stores across the state brought under the auspices of the lottery system and that is producing additional revenue. I think we have to be very cautious in our constitution as a restriction on what we could do on gambling type devices. Our leadership has done a good job. They produce the highest amount of money in education in the history of the lot ....
