DHS official says Log4j ‘proved concept’ behind cyber review board, but mum on plans for SolarWinds

Rob Silvers, Chair of the Cyber Safety Review Board and undersecretary of Homeland Security for strategy, policy and plans, praised the board’s initial investigations into the Log4j vulnerability saying it “proved the concept” behind the board’s work. The board is now building on this effort and assembling a permanent staff, but made no commitment to investigate the SolarWinds breach, which had led to its creation. Silvers called the board a soon-to-be “enduring institution in the cybersecurity ecosystem”.
