00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.500
... so well represented here.

2
00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:05.400
We’ve secured vital new funding for Cybersecurity.

3
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:10.700
In our first year in office we allocated an addition $1.2 billion to digital defense

4
00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:15.000
and next year our administration has requested a record $15 billion

5
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.000
to secure America’s Cyber frontiers.

6
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.700
And we’ll continue to work with Congress.

7
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:24.000
To provide the resources we need to defend our nation

8
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.500
from the threats we face in the digital domain.

9
00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:32.500
But this critical issue requires

10
00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:34.200
more than new funding.

11
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:38.600
America also needs a central hub for Cybersecurity

12
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.200
and today we call on the United States Senate

13
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.000
to follow the lead of the House of Representatives,

14
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:46.800
and before the end of this year,

15
00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:52.200
enact legislation to create a new agency under the authority of DHS.

16
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.600
The time has come for the Cybersecurity

17
00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.600
and Infrastructure Security Agency to commence.

18
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:02.600
Thank you

19
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:07.600
[Applause]

20
00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:12.200
This agency will bring together the resources of our national government

21
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.600
to focus on Cybersecurity

22
00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:16.700
and it's an idea whose time has come.

23
00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:19.460
In addition to funding and reforms,

24
00:01:19.460 --> 00:01:23.700
our administration is hardening federal networks as never before.

25
00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:27.100
We’re taking renewed action to identify and eliminate

26
00:01:27.100 --> 00:01:30.200
weaknesses that our adversaries could exploit.

27
00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:32.200
For example,

28
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.860
the Federal government has long allowed Kaspersky Lab,

29
00:01:35.860 --> 00:01:38.200
a Russian antivirus software,

30
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.000
to be installed on federal devices,

31
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.730
even though it has a direct relationship with the Russian Government

32
00:01:43.730 --> 00:01:45.600
and intelligence services.

33
00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:49.000
This threat existed for many years.

34
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.300
But our administration ended the threat last year

35
00:01:54.300 --> 00:02:00.600
when we banned Kaspersky Lab software from the entire federal government.

36
00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:04.600
[Applause]

37
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.700
We’ve also dramatically increased information sharing with innovators,

38
00:02:09.700 --> 00:02:12.350
developers, and network defenders.

39
00:02:12.350 --> 00:02:15.850
Americas intelligence and law enforcement agencies

40
00:02:15.850 --> 00:02:18.250
have an unparalleled ability to discover

41
00:02:18.250 --> 00:02:21.400
weaknesses in digital products and software
