This new cybersecurity caucus will be open only to Senators and their staff and will focus on Senate efforts to address cyber issues.  However, it will seek to coordinate and co-sponsor events and approaches, where possible, with its counterpart caucus on the House side.   

The caucus will seek to hold events for Senate Staffers and Members on a regular basis multiple times a year.  Events at the staffer level should occur more frequently.

Events will include but not be limited to briefings, workshops, demonstrations, and tours of local cyber facilities.
