The 114th Congress’ lead man on cybersecurity legislation is Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas. The boisterous Dallas native, known for his leadership as chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, has helped introduce a total of 17 cybersecurity-focused bills since 2015, more than any other legislator. Of the 17 bills introduced — excluding resolutions and amendments — five have yet to be enacted and 12 are cosponsored by McCaul.
“Rogue actors and nation states alike have threatened our citizens’ private information, our critical infrastructure, and our electoral systems,” McCaul told CyberScoop, “My goal, and the goal of this Committee, is not simply to put ourselves in a position to retaliate against such intrusions, but rather to stop them from ever happening.”
