U.S. Representative Mike Rogers (R-MI) is hard at work in Washington D.C., despite Congressional recess, when other lawmakers have returned to their respective districts and even the President and his family escape the heat to a vacation destination.
This is the Congressman who champions information-sharing between government and industry. This is the Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence for the U.S. House of Representatives, who was recently shortlisted for the position of new FBI director. He defends the truth behind the NSA data mining and boldly combats the international theft of intellectual property. He is not afraid to name names – calling out hackers and nation-states alike in their efforts to steal from American enterprises. He penned the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) as an aid to the U.S. Government in investigating cyber threats and ensuring security of computer networks and systems.
