I made a spider-themed word cloud of today's UK Parliament debate on the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill (#CSRB) so you don't have to.

TL;DR: 438 CYBERs! That's a whole lot of...

Only 21 mentions of #DigitalSovereignty, but strong sense this will increase in response to certain $EVENTS

During confirmation hearings in the US Senate for the role of deputy director of the Dept of #HomelandSecurity, the nominee #TroyEdgar said #CISA has had the wrong management and needed to be "reined in."
Cyber Safety Review Board (#CSRB) had been probing #China's #SaltTyphoon campaign, in which telecommunication networks in America and beyond had been compromised by Beijing to snoop on potentially millions of people, though now CISA has taken over that role, Edgar said.

> While some have speculated that this move is an attempt to cover up the extent of the breach or even deliberately assist the Chinese, a more likely explanation is simple incompetence

#Trump administration fires members of #cybersecurity review board in 'horribly shortsighted' decision
The #CSRB was made up of both private sector and government cybersecurity experts.
