Against an ever developing cyber threat landscape and an increasingly complex legal framework, it's more important than ever for organisations to be informed on potential cyber incidents and how to manage them. This morning, I hosted a webinar in collaboration with Matheson LLP on Cyber Resilience Best Practice and lessons we have learned so far. For anyone looking for more information on the topic please get in touch with the Matheson Technology and Innovation team!

Michael Black: What is the Office of the National Cyber DIrector's overarching vision for Cyber? Jake Braun: Currently we are overseeing the implementation of the National Cyber Strategy, in year 2 of a 10 year plan. Two shifts in how we think about cyber. First, we need to shift the burden from the individual to the folks who have the resources and the know how; the folks in industry who build the tech. Second, we need to incentivize long term investments on the front end of building out our infrastructure rather than bolting on cyber after the fact. Areas that weren't previously targeted such as K12 and water are examples. #TechNet

At BlackHat and beyond, #collaboration is king. As we head to #BlackHatUSA 2024, let’s take a minute to consider the origins of this critical annual gathering. Launched in 1997 as a training and information-sharing conference, Black Hat was founded in part as an acknowledgement that in cybersecurity, no one person or entity could possibly have all the answers–that we need to work together if we’re going to keep organizations, data and people safe from attackers. Black Hat still holds true to those roots, with sessions that are highly technical, instructional and vendor neutral. Black Hat bears witness to the power of people working together in a worthy–even existential–effort. Black Hat is all of us, we're in this together. 🙌 Stop by our booth to see the crew August 7-8, 2024 Alisha Smith Dan Mellinger Kirk Hasty, CEH, MCSE Tom Salmond #weareinthistogether #cybersecurity #security Jason Rolleston Symantec Carbon Black Broadcom #symantec #carbonblack #broadcom

“With cyber, it’s not a one-time fix, and we move on. It’s an ongoing, evolving topic that is just getting more serious,’ explains Shamla Naidoo CXO Advisor at Netskope & Independent Board Director, in her #STRONGER fireside chat with Larry Whiteside Jr. Whiteside, Founder & President of Cyversity.
