Pleased to see the Amtrak Police on the NE Regional today, not the National Guardsmen awkwardly walking around Union Station.

Defense is playing very well. Offense looks listless. Somebody make a play.

The last 10 years have been amazing. From launching @quad9dns.bsky.social with PCH, to kicking off Common Good Cyber and the Fund, GCA has accomplished a lot. I was privileged to help support the people who did those things, both at GCA and across the community. One team, one fight.

Think of “digital sunscreen” as the basic protection you apply before using any AI tool. Safer AI use is easier when everyone knows the rules. Here's our guide to safely using AI: globalcyberalliance.org/ai-guidance/ #AI #artificialintelligence #aitools #privacy #cybersecurity #digitalsafety

Finally the toned-down rhetoric for which I’ve been waiting.

On Sept 3, 30 cybersecurity professionals in their personal capacity wrote to Congress asking it to continue federal funding for the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC).

Anyone know the percentage of in-use devices out there that won't support Windows 11? I'm thinking back to how long support for Windows XP lasted, in part because of the huge installed base.

I've been on the outskirts of terrorism, political violence, and insanity a few times in my life. In October 2002 I was at the Home Depot in Falls Church the day or two before the Beltway Sniper struck there. In June of 2017 I was on London Bridge shortly before the 2017 car and knife attacks.

I’m rooting for Sauron.

Big thanks to the folks at GCA and Take9

@istorg.bsky.social was in KY this week supporting K-12 #cybersecurity. Michael Klein joined Jefferson County Public Schools for a press conference announcing nearly $4 million from the FCC to improve JCPS’ #cyber defenses. Watch the WLKY feature: www.wlky.com/article/jcps...

“In a world where scams are becoming harder to identify, it’s valuable to know how to quickly respond to a potential fraud,” says @aspenpolicyacademy.bsky.social @betsycooper.bsky.social in an AI Journal op-ed. Read here for tips on navigating cyber risks👇: aijourn.com/think-youve-...

So disappointing. www.techpolicy.press/linkedin-joi...

Cybersecurity is a team sport - all of us is stronger than any of us. Without Congressional action now, out ability to work together will get a gut punch on September 30. Thank you Michael Daniel for raising this. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-... @lawfaremedia.org

It's been an honor leading GCA for 10 years and having had the opportunity to work with so many of you in cybersecurity for 30 years. I'll continue supporting and advising the @gca.bsky.social, and focusing in particular on #CommonGoodCyber.

Congrats to Bob Lord and Lauren Zabierek for their move to Institute for Security and Technology (IST) Can’t wait to see what’s next for #SecurebyDesign. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Great to have Australia join the multi-donor, multilateral #CommonGoodCyber Fund! At the recent Australia–UK Ministerial Consultations (AUKMIN) in Sydney, Australia was welcomed as the newest partner. #CyberCivilDefense @craignewmark.bsky.social

Our message to the UN. "We need to scale what works, not replace it." @gca.bsky.social @craignewmark.bsky.social

Really not into the culture of screengrabbing tweets to bring them on here, but this is pretty newsworthy I think. Twitter's CEO stepping down the day after the site deployed a full-on racist/bigot/Nazi AI to its users. I don't know if that's the reason and haven't seen any indication either way.

The United Nations work on cybersecurity should include the non-government stakeholders who actually do the work of securing the Internet for everyone. Right now, that's not the approach the UN is taking. docs-library.unoda.org/Open-Ended_W...

Please read this article. We have lost so many dedicated public servants, the costs of which will be counted lives, including children.

AI generated spam by AI companies looking to use AI to help your enterprise is the new bane of my existence. I propose a new rule that any email the content of which is over 50% generated by AI is automatically spam and requires double-opt-in from the recipient to send.

Ha! We’ve gotten wake up calls so often it’s like the front desk at the hotel has a vendetta.

As Phil Reitinger, president and CEO of the Global Cyber Alliance, put it to me, "We really can’t afford to roll back the capabilities and strength that come from public-private collaboration. The risk is too great."

"During FIRSTCON in Copenhagen on June 24, Wendy Nather, senior research initiatives director at 1Password, welcomed the new [Common Good Cyber] fund, saying, “It shows that some organizations are trying to funnel more money on cyber non-profits on which we all depend.” #CommonGoodCyber

Lack of funding for the cybersecurity nonprofits that work for the Common Good has been a systemic problem. Great leaders like @craignewmark.bsky.social have gone beyond, but the whole-of-society needs to respond to a whole-of-society problem. Now we have a funding vehicle to help make that happen.
