The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) held its first National Cybersecurity Summit on July 31, 2018. During the summit DHS's Christopher Krebs announced the creation of the Information Communications Technology Supply Chain Task Force and spoke with a panel of experts on what the task force should focus on for its first 90 days. The panelists included NSA's Rob Joyce, AT&T's John Donovan, and Palo Alto Network's Mark McLaughlin. The task force will be a part of the newly created DHS National Risk Management Center which launched with the task force in August. To add to that Congress is currently considering several pieces of legislation to protect the supply chain. One bill "Securing the Homeland Security Supply Chain Act of 2018" (HR 6430) was passed in the House on September 4, 2018 and has been sent to the Senate for debate.
