Take advantage of this folks! I have always used "Investigation Theory" as a foundational course when building teams and creating talent pipelines from the help desk and IT engineering teams over to cybersecurity. Link in comments (and I'm not getting paid for this - I just think it's good 😉)

Does being compliant with CMMC really matter right now? A small fraction of defense contractors have already done the hard work to prepare for these critical requirements to protect our national defense infrastructure. For the remaining ~200,000 contractors, it is a risk management decision. Can you afford to lose contracts with those clauses? Would your business stay afloat without that government customer? Could waiting hurt your business and bottom line? We have seen companies lose HUGE contracts that resulted in having to layoff people who have been there for 20 years. This stuff has a huge impact. Don’t think that you have to do it all at once! You just need to start with a solid plan and a budget. When you do this, you are ahead of the majority and will be on your way to a competitive advantage before you know it. The hardest part is getting started. Feeling stuck? Valor Cybersecurity is here to help you get ready. #cybersecurity #defense #compliance #dod

Baltimore, Maryland: Last week, on the fringe of the AFCEA TechNet Cyber Conference, Mike Walsh sat down with Francis Rose to chat about the DoD's Comply-To-Connect (C2C) program and how this investment made by Congress creates a net-positive wrt -- ✍ Executive Order 14028: 1️⃣ "It is the policy of my Administration that the prevention, detection, assessment, and remediation of cyber incidents is a top priority and essential to national and economic security. The Federal Government must lead by example. All Federal Information Systems should meet or exceed the standards and requirements for cybersecurity set forth in and issued pursuant to this order." 2️⃣ "To keep pace with today’s dynamic and increasingly sophisticated cyber threat environment, the Federal Government must take decisive steps to modernize its approach to cybersecurity." Which requires the Federal Government to invest in and secure both Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) systems. BL: The continuous monitoring, assessment, and security of all IT, IoT, and OT endpoints are both necessary and achievable to "build secure systems in untrusted networks" #ZeroTrust. ☠ 🌀 Volt Typhoon: 1️⃣ The discovery of Chinese malicious code embedded in the telecommunications systems used by the U.S. military in Guam, home to three strategic U.S. bases, sent waves through the national security community. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) currently uses cyberspace to achieve espionage and intellectual property theft objectives. 2️⃣ However, they aspire to use malware hidden in our critical networks to disrupt our response to a future CCP invasion of Taiwan. BL: This cannot be overstated: denying the availability of weapon systems in the garrison is as effective as destroying them on the battlefield.
