US EditionSenate Democrats Urge DHS to Reconstitute CSRB

- Witnesses and Chair Mark Green emphasized the imbalance favoring attackers, the need for improved public-private cooperation, enhanced human capital, and AI-driven defenses despite concerns about AI-generated vulnerabilities.

- Meanwhile, four Senate Democrats urged DHS Secretary Noem to immediately reinstate the Cyber Safety Review Board, citing its critical role in investigating major attacks and concerns that its closure weakens national cyber defense.
