February 19, 2021 |Cybersecurity

SolarWinds CEO Sudhakar Ramakrishna will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee Tuesday during a hearing on the Russian government-sponsored hack of his company's Orion software (see 2102100059), Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., announced Thursday. Microsoft President Brad Smith, FireEye CEO Kevin Mandia and CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz will also testify during a hybrid hearing in 106 Dirksen. The SolarWinds breach prompted Smith to use his CES 2021 keynote last month to urge tech industry and government action to write new cybersecurity “rules of the road" (see 2101130028).
