Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said on Tuesday that the federal government should work with the private sector to improve cybersecurity.

“What I’ve always believed is if you’re really looking for cybersecurity, we have to look to the private sector because the private sector is always going to outperform government,” Sen. Johnson said in an interview with John Solomon from JusttheNews.com.
