New Jersey Assemblyman Hosts Summit On Cybersecurity
TRENTON, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- A New Jersey lawmaker is hosting a summit Monday to figure out how to improve cybersecurity in the state.
Assembly Republican leader Jon Bramnick invited state Homeland Security officials and business leaders to the meeting, WCBS 880's Peter Haskell reported.
With hackers gaining access to databases almost every day and computer viruses becoming a constant concern, the goal of the summit is to answer some key questions, Bramnick said.

"How dangerous is it now? Is it getting worse? And how vulnerable is the average person?" Bramnick, R-Westfield, told Haskell.
Bramnick said it doesn't appear that corporate America is sharing information about cyberattacks with the government. He hopes the two sides can develop some trust.
"If government is not receiving information about the newest attack, then government and business become more vulnerable," Bramnick said.
