Daily cybersecurity intrusions are threatening America’s ability to remain the world leader in innovation, yet few are paying attention, according to co-chairman of the Congressional Cybersecurity Caucus Rep. James Langevin (D – R.I.).”Large amounts of data are being siphoned off – stolen – on a daily basis,” said Langevin, during a panel discussion at the Brookings Institution Wednesday. “If someone was hauling off filing cabinets of information, that would be tantamount to an act of war. But because it’s happening in the digital realm, there isn’t that sense of urgency.”
