Deep dives

Collaboration Between Congress and the Tech Sector

There is an urgent need for Congress to move beyond demonizing the tech sector and instead focus on collaboration to create effective cybersecurity policies. It is unrealistic to expect all members of Congress to be cybersecurity experts, but they should understand the importance of partnerships with tech companies to address modern challenges. A failure to establish the right policies could result in the U.S. losing its status as a global power, both economically and in cybersecurity defense. By fostering better relationships with the tech industry, Congress can work towards policies that protect citizens and support technological advancement.
