GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GP DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 2015 U.S. SENATE, SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, Washington, DC. The subcommittee met at 2:15 p.m., in room SD-138, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. John Hoeven (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Hoeven, Cochran, and Shaheen. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY STATEMENT OF HON. ANDY OZMENT, ASSISTANT SECRETARY, OFFICE OF CYBERSECURITY AND COMMUNICATION, NATIONAL PROTEC- TION AND PROGRAMS DIRECTORATE OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JOHN HOEVEN Senator HOEVEN. I would like to call this meeting of the Depart- ment of Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee to order. I would like to welcome Ranking Member Senator Shaheen and also our full committee Appropriations Chairman, Senator Coch- ran. I appreciate very much you being here, as well as our three witnesses. This hearing, of course, is on cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is one of the most complex and challenging threats currently facing our Nation. Today, we will examine the role of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in our Nation's cybersecurity efforts, specifically its responsibilities for securing the dot-gov domain, pro- tecting critical infrastructure, and facilitating and conducting ro- bust information sharing. I'm pleased to welcome our witnesses Andy Ozment, the Assist- ant Secretary of the Office of Cybersecurity and Communications from the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) within DHS; Luke McCormack, the DHS Chief Information Officer (CIO); and Greg Garcia, Executive Director of the Financial Serv- ices Sector Coordinating Council. The focus of today's hearing, as I noted, is DHS's role in cybersecurity. First and foremost, DHS is responsible for protecting the dot-gov domain. Through NPPD, DHS secures dot-gov by pro- viding overarching services and capabilities and best practices that agencies are required to deploy to protect their agencies' informa- tion technology (IT) infrastructure and systems.
