Comcast Supports FCC Chairman Wheeler's New Cybersecurity 'Paradigm'

Following Federal Communications Commission chairman Tom Wheeler's call for a "new paradigm" in which private industry takes the lead on flexible, measurable and accountable cybersecurity standards, Comcast signaled it agreed, was willing to work with the commission, but was already hard at work protecting its network and its users.

Myrna Soto, senior VP and chief information and infrastructure security officer, for Comcast Cable, said that it already works daily to "assess, deter, and neutralize cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats." Comcast agrees with ChairmanWheeler that the success of its business depends on a safe and secure environment.
