   During a hearing with the House Subcommittees on Research and   
   Technology and Oversight on Friday, a cybersecurity expert   
   confirmed to Congress that former Secretary of State Hillary   
   Clinton’s private email account acted as a severe security   
   threat to the nation.   
      
   During the hearing, John B. Wood, the Chief Executive Officer   
   and Chairman at Telos Corporation, listened to a scenario posed   
   by Lamar Smith, chairman of the House Science Committee, in   
   which Smith asked if his company would accept the request of a   
   “senior government official at an executive branch department”   
   who approached Wood’s company to create a private email account   
   and server with which to conduct both personal and official   
   business. In addition, Smith said, this government official   
   would store all of the emails in a server located in their   
   private residence.   
      
   Following the presentation of this scenario, which was published   
   in a YouTube video, Smith asked Wood two questions: “Could this   
   scenario unnecessarily expose classified information to being   
   hacked?” and “How would your company respond to such a request?”   
      
   To the first question, Wood merely answered, “Yes.” To the   
   second, he said that in response to the official’s request for a   
   private email account and server, his company “wouldn’t do it …   
   if for the simple reason that you’re exposing classified data to   
   — in the open, and at the end of the day, that’s — that would   
   not be prudent and would also be illegal.”   
      
   When Smith asked Wood to elaborate on why it would be “illegal,”   
   Wood responded, “because the government requirement is … that   
   all official information be used through … official means,   
   meaning through government networks.”   
      
   In addition to Wood, the committee’s panel of witnesses included   
   Dr. Martin Casado, senior vice president and general manager of   
   networking and security business unit at VMWare; Ken Schneider,   
   vice president of technology strategy at Symantec Corporation;   
   and Larry Clinton, president and CEO at Internet Security   
   Alliance.   
      
   Following his testimony during the hearing, Wood published an   
   article on Telos’ website titled “Government Turns to Private   
   Sector for Cyber Security Insight.” The article, which consists   
   of further statements that he gave at the hearing, concludes   
   with this thought: “Defending our nation in cyberspace requires   
   a long-term national effort and commitment, much like the Space   
   Race — we have the equivalent of a cyber-race to the moon on our   
   hands, and we are falling behind.”
