                      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.
