WASHINGTON — CompTIA, the leading trade association for the global technology industry, released the following statement from CompTIA Executive Vice President for Public Advocacy Elizabeth Hyman regarding the temporary reopening of the federal government.
“While we join many Americans in breathing a sigh of relief over today’s agreement to temporarily reopen the government, unfortunately, the damage done by this month-long standoff will leave economic and cybersecurity waves in its wake. We now have a three-week respite. We urge Congress and the Administration to move quickly to a long-term budget so that we can restore faith, support for our federal workers, and not further harm the long-term prospect of recruiting and retaining skilled workers to work on our nation’s behalf.”
