Washington Post, February 16, 2021
By Tonya Riley
Cybersecurity groups are urging Congress to make federal and state cybersecurity funding a priority as lawmakers iron out a $1.9 trillion dollar coronavirus relief package.
The letter adds to a growing chorus of calls by cybersecurity experts and trade groups to support Biden's proposal for increased cybersecurity funding as part of pandemic relief. The push follows a show of support for the funding earlier this month by CompTIA and other trade groups including BSA The Software Alliance, the Internet Association and the Chamber of Commerce.
