We have become so dependent with technology that it is important the we begin to understand what it is that is helping us, and what needs to be worked on in order to better protect us.

The current state of endpoint security is reactive and relies on signature-based detection techniques. These techniques are ineffective against modern malware that is designed to evade detection. Additionally, the increasing use of mobile devices and the cloud create new security challenges that are not currently addressed by traditional security solutions.

The perimeter is no longer effective in deterring or preventing cyberattacks?
Cybersecurity attacks are up more than 80%
How comfortable are you with your ability to detect and respond before damage is done?

Protecting your Data (both business and personal) is the issue that is top of mind. Protecting you and keeping the attacker out, is essential to everyone. That’s what we will discuss to help you protect yourself from getting #HACKED! #HACKED2 delivers the experience of the Author and 12 Exceptional Cybersecurity Professionals all in one location.

The United States, while possessing potent cyber operational capabilities, increasingly is focused on intelligence gathering and offensive cyber operations. Defensive cyber operations and day-to-day operations of critical mission-enabling information technology are increasingly outsourced to a variety collection of vendors and their subordinate partners. As 2021 nears its conclusion, elements within the US Department of Defense are advocating outsourcing the operations and maintenance of its foundational mission-enabling information technology systems and networks with an eye toward what they call a “single service provider.” In this allegorical story, the authors present an independent third-party discussion of the topic with an eye on answering the question, “What possibly could go wrong with that?” It is our hope that this discussion will educate and inform policy makers in both the executive and legislative branches to make the best-informed risk management decisions to preserve, protect, and defend our country.

The plane had only just broken free of the earth's gravity and was a few hundred feet off the ground when Greg and Mark saw the black dots ahead of him rise up from the grass beyond the runway fence.


They moved like a swarm of killer bees and quickly split into two groups. Each group maneuvered in the sky directly in front of each of the oncoming 737's engines.

They moved like a swarm of killer bees and quickly split into two groups. Each group maneuvered in the sky directly in front of each of the oncoming 737's engines.


"What in the hell...holy shit!" Greg shouted and looked eyes as wide as dinner plates at Mark. The plane's cockpit careened past the dots at over 400 miles per hour, and in that second, time slowed. Greg looked out of the cockpit window aghast at what he saw.


Drones.

As cybersecurity professionals, we know first-hand how the cyber world is filled with battles between good and evil. But do your kids know that? If you’re a parent, like me, chances are you’re concerned about your kids using the Internet.

It seems that every day a major brand suffers a data breach. The breach is publicized widely in the news, and the company’s brand, customers, and business plunge immediately into crisis mode. However, far from the media spotlight, a prevailing trend in the seedy world of threat actors is causing numerous companies who are victimized to suffer in silence.

It seems that every day a major brand suffers a data breach. The breach is publicized widely in the news, and the company’s brand, customers, and business plunge immediately into crisis mode. However, far from the media spotlight, a prevailing trend in the seedy world of threat actors is causing numerous companies who are victimized to suffer in silence. Ransomware is one of the fastest-growing threats in today’s world. This is a video demonstration of tactics ransom actors can take to attack and victimize businesses. It is a nasty threat that makes it imperative for businesses to carefully select a cloud provider who can reduce risk, protect data and exceed compliance requirements. Show less

Cybersecurity has gained an unprecedented amount of attention in the last decade. Traditionally, threats
involve nation state hacking, cybercrime, hacktivism, and malware. However, an increasing number of
insider threat incidents, which pose potentially greater ramifications to both public and private networks, are
also causing significant damage.
The cyber insider threat is not based on unauthorized access by unauthorized individuals, but rather, by
authorized access authorized individuals. Insider threats are currently the number one security problem
facing most organizations.. According to a study by the US Secret Service and US Computer Emergency
Readiness Team (CERT), a staggering 83 percent of insider threat cases involve attacks that took place
from within the insider’s physical offices-- in 70 percent of the cases, the incidents took place during normal
business hours. Insider attacks are also far more costly to companies than external breaches. Show less

The recent innovations and developments
in both technologies and tactics from
the defense and analytic standpoint is
improving by leaps and bounds as
intelligence collection and deep
technology and attack specific tools are
developed and information is shared,
but the onslaught of attack will continue.

There is a coming change in how cyber security is both perceived and functionally
performed across all of the cyber security industry. The revolution has been slowly and quietly
fermenting among small groups of individuals and progressing through focused research projects
funded by a variety of agencies and individual investors. These industry changing initiatives have
their basis in ideas and practices that range from advanced algorithmic augmentation and
machine learning modified to detect and isolate anomalous activity across the breadth of source
data originating within emails, logs, chat sessions, and other vast lakes and oceans of data. It will
be these new methods and practices and the resulting technologies that will follow that will truly
push the boundaries of the realm of the possible within cyber security and will provide quantum
leaps in additions to the functional comprehension of the realities of the uses of data for truly
optimized security and next generation prevention of compromises. Show less
