https://lnkd.in/eeVygzYz We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Diane M Janosek, PhD, JD to explore her extensive background at the National Security Agency, her executive leadership roles across various government sectors, and her passion for advancing women in the cybersecurity field. It begins with intentional and ongoing learning, and her motivational counsel is indeed an inspiration for this field (both industry and government) as we steer through these difficult times. Heartfelt thanks again, Diane for your unwavering commitment! #CyberSecurityHeroes #InfoSecLeaders #CyberWarriors #InfoSecInnovators #SecurityChampions #CyberMentors #WomenInCyber

https://lnkd.in/e4_tsDcv As we enter July, this reminder highlights the ongoing challenges and efforts to secure our Critical Infrastructure. Ransomware continues to affect millions of small businesses. Jen Easterly's emphasis on Secure-by-Design technology, which significantly reduces vulnerabilities, is crucial for protecting critical infrastructure. Whether developed in-house or sourced through a managed security provider, safeguarding infrastructure and systems at the endpoint is essential. These considerations are vital for small businesses across sectors when planning their technical and operational security strategies. With multiple advancements that intersect critical infrastructure interests in cybersecurity regulation, including #CMMC, we are grateful as a managed security provider, to play a role alongside pledged vendors in shaping and implementing the overarching strategy. #SecureByDesign #cybersecurity #CMMC #ransomware #criticalinfrastructure #cyberstrategy #CIRCIA Andy Sauer | Derek Kernus | Lauren Z. | Ben Wheat | Ciaran Martin Debbie Sallis | Richard Wakeman Justin Orcutt, CRISC, CDPSE, MBA | Donny Sauer | Elke Sobieraj | Elizabeth Cory Jimenez

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency laying down the law for all the SaaS and software makers out there who belong on the https://sso.tax list. Every sysadmin or security practitioner who has ever been responsible for identity protection will tell you that 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧-𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚. It's absolutely obnoxious that in 2024 so many software and SaaS providers still hide this core security feature behind enterprise paywalls, while often touting the seriousness with which they take your security. CISA agrees: "𝐈𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫, 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧-𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠—𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 '𝐒𝐒𝐎 𝐭𝐚𝐱' 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞." Bob Lord adds in his own post about this report: "𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒍𝒖𝒙𝒖𝒓𝒚 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒂 𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕." Dead. On. If these are the type of people influencing things at CISA, we have a lot to be hopeful for.
