                      Thursday, February 26, 2015

  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Art Coviello, a 
longtime friend and leader in the security industry, on his retirement 
as Executive Vice President of EMC Corporation and Executive Chairman 
of RSA, The Security Division of EMC. Art has pushed the envelope in 
the industry for more than 40 years, and his influence as a thought-
leader, as well as his work solving complex challenges in the Age of 
Information, have truly helped transform the field of security, 
specifically with regard to cyber-security.
  As the new millennium ushered in groundbreaking advancements, Art 
served as a conductor, helping to guide the industry through new 
developments in the most technologically dynamic time period the world 
has ever seen. Mr. Coviello's impact has been felt in both private and 
public sectors alike as he

pushed us all to a better state of affairs through engagement in 
initiatives like the National Cyber Security Summit, TechNet New 
England, the Cyber Security Industry Alliance, and many others. He has 
also testified in Congress on a number of occasions, lending his 
expertise to our deliberations here in order to ensure that our nation 
remains a leader in cyberspace. Art retains the special ability to see 
beyond the visible arc of technological advances and effectively 
communicate about an incredibly dynamic landscape in order to 
positively impact policy.
  I am honored to extend my deep gratitude and praise to Art as he 
retires, and to be able to call him a friend. I wish him the best of 
luck in all future endeavors.
