At the Singapore International Cyber Week Summit, @SecMayorkas called for a unified response to our shared global challenges around cybersecurity. #SICW2022
Partnership is essential to the cybersecurity challenges facing the world today. Through collaboration with countries like Singapore, the Biden-Harris Administration aims to extend cooperation on best practices for cybersecurity operations and critical infrastructure security.
.@SecMayorkas underscored the U.S.’s commitment to a free and open internet amid China’s use of technology to tilt the global playing field to its benefit.
The role of the private sector is key to deliver on this mission, explained @SecMayorkas, and only through this collaboration can we fully address our cybersecurity challenges.
DHS is keeping America safe through strong international partnerships.
Here’s how we’re advancing our mission together with key international partners. ⬇️

.@SecMayorkas on the cyber threat facing communities:
“Regardless of the size and sophistication of your infrastructure, you need to identify a person who can take charge of the cybersecurity portfolio because it is something that we all need to be vigilant about.”
On the need to work together to combat the threat of domestic violent extremism:
"Our goal is to be preventive—before we have to be responsive.” #MayorsDC22
As of November 10, 2021, DHS is not aware of an imminent and credible threat to a specific location in the United States.
The United States continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment as we approach several religious holidays and associated mass gatherings that in the past have served as potential targets for acts of violence.
"We have seen the threat evolve but we have not seen its prior iterations disappear… Our work at DHS requires vigilance, throughout the day every day...
"....And our greatest asset are in fact our people, the people in the department." - @SecMayorkas
As previously announced, starting Nov 8, travelers from Mexico and Canada who are fully vaccinated for #COVID19 may enter the U.S. for non-essential travel via land and ferry ports of entry.
The timing of this change is aligned with the new international air travel system that will also be implemented in November.
Restrictions continue to apply to non-essential travelers who are not fully vaccinated.
