This week, Congress will hold a pair of hearings on cyber security. Broadband for America supports efforts to enhance digital privacy and protections for businesses as the transfer of data becomes more integral to everyday business. The Hill’s technology blog reports that the two hearings will focus on Homeland Security and Internet freedoms abroad:

The Senate Judiciary Committee will convene its Human Rights and the Law subcommittee on Tuesday for a hearing on global Internet freedoms.

And on Wednesday:

[T]he House Homeland Security Committee will flex its oversight muscles and examine the Department of Homeland Security's new science and technology plans. Joining the panel will be Dr. Tara O’Toole, the department's under secretary for Science and Technology, who will field questions about "the activities of the Department’s Science and Technology Directorate (S&T)."
