Cyber Kill Chain. The Cyber kill chain and its 7 Phases is a sequence of events that a threat actor goes through to infiltrate a network and exfiltrate data from it. A block of just one stage in this lifecycle will protect a company's network from attack. Step 1 - Reconnaissance Step 2 - Weaponization Step 3 - Delivery Step 4 - Exploitation Step 5 - Installation Step 6 - Command and Control Step 7 - Actions on Objectives Reference: https://lnkd.in/gV9UU_wS #cybersecurity #attacks #CEH #informationsecurity #networksecurity #network #cyber_kill_chain #IP

Why was Red Flag so important? If it were just the need for better technology, Red Flag would not have been developed, technology for combat aircraft had improved dramatically between the second world war and the Korean War, but that was not the challenge, it was the human controlling the technology we needed to improve. It is the same in the world of cybersecurity, we are all bombarded with new technology designed to be the latest silver bullet in the defence of our organisations, but if they were the answer we would not be having so many breaches of organisations which have the budgets to buy all these technology silver bullets! #redflag #cybersecurity #cyberrange #virtualcyberincident #vci

A sobering watch, that one suspects demonstrates we're sleep walking into a problem that we cannot fix without radical action. "An active and direct threat to the U.S homeland security." "We need to step up and defend ourselves in cyberspace." "The damage that could be done is almost hard to imagine." "It requires unprecedented collaboration between the public and private sector". "It's not just a government problem its a whole of society problem" "The PRC has a bigger hacking program than that of every major nation combined" Cyber is an active threat to national security, used as one component of an integrated physical and logical threat. That is being resourced to target critical national infrastructure, steal Intellectual property and gain strategic and tactical military advantage. This is no longer a FUD debate. We do not have the necessary resources, Knowledge, skill or experience across the public or private sector to address this threat. Nor does one see any plans to address this. If we cannot get the private sector to focus on cybersecurity risk management, then we will not protect Critical National Infrastructure Security. Let alone have the capability to make and service kinetic weapon systems. https://lnkd.in/eZZKUNMu Thoughts? Ted Dziekanowski Brian D. McCarthy Rich Waite, M.Ed.

Take a look at our recent Tri-sector cyber defense exercise (CDX) and how we partner with the industry and the public sector to #securetheecosystem.

With hactivists targeting public safety agencies, it's critical for agencies to attack cyber vulnerabilities collectively. The #MotorolaSolutions Public Safety Threat Alliance (PSTA) saw a 179% increase in hacktivist activity. The two fastest growing cyber threats to PSAPs? 💻 Ransomware 📈 67% of cyberattacks on Emergency Communications Centers (ECC) and their CAD systems since January 2022 have been ransomware attacks, according to #PSTA. 🎧Telephony-denial-of-service (TDoS) attacks ⛔️With VoIP, Terry Hall, director of York-Poquoson-Williamsburg (VA) Regional 9-1-1 Emergency Communications, says it could be relatively easy for someone to "start stacking calls to choke up your system in an emergency." These attacks pose a serious threat to communities and public agencies nationwide as they can obstruct emergency calls, resulting in delays in dispatching first responders.
