Wait, did he just use Wannacry as a reason for more NSA involvement in cyber defense? Wannacry exists because of the NSA. Its exploitation tools leaked (as it always happens, even to the NSA or the Chinese spy agencies) and then others used them to create the highly-effective Wannacry.
So...thanks, but no thanks NSA! You're done enough already. Not to mention the fact that the NSA is actively trying to this day to sabotage security efforts both in standards bodies and in private organizations (see recent Simon and Speck controversy, or how they asked Yahoo to put a backdoor in their email servers, Dual_EC scandal, etc).
