Don't miss this week's episode of Cyber Focus with Dave Luber, Director of Cybersecurity at NSA.
In this week’s Cyber Focus, I sit down with David Luber, Director of Cybersecurity at the National Security Agency and a distinguished veteran of the Intelligence Community. We dive into NSA's dual mission in signals intelligence (SIGINT) and cybersecurity; the significance of partnering w/ industry through the Cybersecurity Collaboration Center (CCC); extending cyber efforts with US allies and The Five Eyes; and the intersection of cyber & space 🚀 🛰️ We also discuss the need for secure-by-design principles, the role of education in developing the next-generation cyber workforce, and NSA's efforts to address threats from state-sponsored actors like China and Russia. Learn more about how NSA, endearingly referred to as "No Such Agency" just a few years ago, is playing an essential role in defending our cyberspace and national critical infrastructure. It’s a great conversation, and it’s available to stream now! https://lnkd.in/dykk6rdt
