Global Conference on Cyber Capacity Building (GC3B)’s Post

PANEL: Unlocking #AUKUS opportunities through cyber capability. Join Gary Hale, Richard Baker MBA, GAICD, Harry Hubbert and I at the CyberWest Summit this month to talk all things AUKUS and #Cyber during our panel session. In light of the importance of the cyber domain to advanced capabilities, AUKUS Pillar II creates focused efforts on strengthening cyber capabilities, including protecting critical communications and operations systems. Join us to hear how to meet security requirements and lower your business risk. A cybercrime is reported every 6 minutes in Australia. If you are in business, you are in defence and you are pursuing AUKUS, cyber is not something that should be on the back burner.

🎙 Know Your Enemy: The Power of Cyber Intelligence In this session, cybersecurity expert James Rees reveals the escalating threat of cybercrime and how intelligence can empower your defence. We will discuss the alarming ascent of organised cybercrime, the evolution of cybercrime-as-a-service and the power of intelligence-driven strategies to combat threats. With real-world case studies, James highlights the role of cyber intelligence in unveiling attack dynamics, informing defence and enabling proactive security. You'll leave with actionable strategies to implement cyber intelligence, insights from case studies and an understanding of the current cybercrime landscape. By sharing hard-won lessons from the front lines, this discussion will empower organisations to strategically face the future of cyber risk.

Again, a really interesting document from European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) focusing on the different levels of needs, committment and preparation required before, during and after a cyber crisis ⛑️ It gives also a pertinent overview of the EU's differents thresholds & layers to consider if a cyber crisis comes up at any european level 📊 A comparison with the private companies proper cyber crisis organization can be useful 💡 #cybercrisis #EU #ENISA #report ALTEN

This was an excellent panel discussion with former The White House National Cyber Director Kemba Walden, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Deputy Director Nitin Natarajan, Akamai Technologies's Mani Sundaram National Cyber Security Centre's Marsha Quallo-Wright and Australian Signals Directorate's Stephanie Crowe. This was all about about leveraging multiple levers, inside and outside government, build our collective cybersecurity resilience. A great point by Kemba was the need for things like "trusted capital", leveraging the community of investors and VCs to commit to enforcing minimum cyber security standards in the companies in which they invest. Nitin also shared that these conversations need to be not just the domain of the CISO and CIO but also the CEO and board. The more companies understand and incorporate cyber security risk into the broader business risk, the more favorable security outcomes we'll see as the result of better company prioritization and investment. Dr Quallo-Wright also shared the understated but important observation that, given the nature and expanding scope of attacks and the rapidly evolving connective tissue of technology we rely on daily, the definition of what "critical" is in "critical national infrastructure" is changing and expanding. More businesses of all sizes are finding themselves in the crosshairs of cyber attacks from a variety of actors. As the cyber security community in private sector and government, we have an obligation to help them understand their risks and address them appropriately. Lots of great commentary and insight. #CyberUK is always such a treat and this year was no exception. #cyberuk24

Today marks a pivotal moment in strengthening cybersecurity across Europe! 🇪🇺 As of October 17, 2024, EU Member States have officially met the deadline to adopt their national transposition measures for the NIS2 Directive. 📆 Through my experience at the European Commission, I can attest to the dedication my colleagues put into shaping regulations like NIS2. These frameworks are crucial, delivering tangible benefits across all Member States. ⚒️ NIS2 not only set higher standards for network and information system security but also fosters collaboration among Member States, ensuring a united front against cyber threats 🤝🛡 Let’s celebrate this significant achievement and look forward to a safer digital landscape across Europe! 🥳 #NIS2 #Cybersecurity #EU

Text taken directly from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) guide, "Mitigating Cyber Threats with Limited Resources: Guidance for Civil Society," released today, May 14. "According to industry reporting, state-sponsored targeting of high-risk communities predominantly emanates from the governments of Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. Actors typically perform extensive pre-operational research to learn about potential victims, gather information to support social engineering, or obtain login credentials. Actors target organization networks or personal accounts (e.g., email) and devices of individuals for surveillance and monitoring, often via spyware applications —malicious software that collects data from affected devices."
