It’s The AAF Exchange — your source for clear, data-driven insight into today’s economic and domestic policy issues.

In our latest episode, AAF’s Director of Energy Policy Ewelina Czapla discusses the economic impact of the cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline. She explains the pipeline security bill reintroduced in Congress and the recent directive from the administration requiring companies to report cyber incidents to the federal government. Czapla also considers whether the remedy for cyberattacks on pipelines is best left to the federal government, private industry, or a combination of both.
