Security firm KnowBe4 recently released its Global Infrastructure report, 'Cyber Attacks on Infrastructure: The New Geopolitical Weapon,' and it's packed with alarming statistics that highlight both familiar and emerging threats. The report highlights that cybersecurity threats are especially perilous for the energy sector, which encompasses power generation, water treatment, and electricity production. In 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy received a record 185 reports of security incidents, marking a new high for the sector. The report also reveals that between January 2023 and January 2024, global critical infrastructure endured over 420 million cyberattacks—an astonishing rate of 13 attacks per second. This underscores the urgent need for heightened awareness and vigilance across the 16 critical infrastructure sectors. Stay informed and stay ahead with the latest updates in critical infrastructure security. https://lnkd.in/d25m4Fgv Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/dTw3m8j7 Andy Sauer Mike Sauer Ben Wheat Elizabeth C.

The increasing threats to critical infrastructure are a growing concern for the national and broader cybersecurity communities. Daily reports of new attacks, particularly recent spikes targeting ports by both criminal enterprises and nation-state actors, highlight the urgency of this issue. The ongoing situation with the recent cyberattack on the Port of Seattle and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport underscores the alarming trend of targeted attacks on critical infrastructure. If not addressed, these attacks could incapacitate or destroy vital systems, leading to severe consequences for national security, economic stability, and public health and safety. Our commitment goes beyond protecting the Defense Industrial Base, one of 16 critical infrastructure sectors. Our mission is to safeguard our nation and keep our clients and communities informed about emerging challenges. Staying informed and proactive in this space is essential as these threats continue to evolve.

Here comes Episode 4 with industry titan Bryan W.! He was the first Presidentially appointed Assistant Director of Cybersecurity at Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, who led during a period of intense volatility and aggressive interference from nation-state adversaries. As a serial entrepreneur and influential government leader, Bryan has shaped the fast-paced technology landscape, advising agencies like the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, CISA, and the White House National Security Council. This is a conversation that ranges topics from cyber conflict, artificial intelligence, leadership, entrepreneurship, potential peer conflict with China, and so much in between. Bryan has a ton of knowledge, the surface of which we only just scratched at in this. Nowhere near done with an already phenomenal career, Bryan has recently launched a stealth startup at the intersection of AI, cyber, and national security, among other venture-backed initiatives. He serves as co-chair of The Cyber Guild, a nonprofit organization we love, as a McCrary Institute Senior Fellow, and is a member of the World Economic Forum.

This is a quick, good read featuring OASIS+ role in accelerating the need for compliant cybersecurity. Cybersecurity in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) continues to be in the spotlight as we anticipate the final rule for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) this fall. With the introduction of the recent OASIS+ contract awards, the emphasize on the critical need for cybersecurity compliance, especially for small businesses, is undeniable. OASIS+, a multi-agency contract managed by the General Services Administration for non-IT services, is setting new benchmarks. As of July 30, awardees have just 90 days to demonstrate their compliance with cybersecurity standards. While OASIS+ is the first hurdle, it won't be the last. This urgency could be the push contractors need to prioritize cybersecurity more than ever. #Cybersecurity #DIB #CMMC #OASISplus #SmallBusiness #Compliance #GSA https://lnkd.in/ez3_24MW Andy Sauer | Donny Sauer | Ben Wheat | Richard Wakeman | Elizabeth C.

This dilemma poses significant challenges for maintaining contract compliance, and our conversation focused on strategies to navigate these complexities effectively. 💡 Key topics covered were: • The impacts of the CMMC Proposed Rule on Level 2 & 3 certification • Shared Services Model Implementation strategy • Supply Chain management strategies to scale CMMC compliance Watch the recording here: https://lnkd.in/eEMG7vTC National 8(a) Association | Melissa Szasz | Andy Sauer | Ben Wheat | Edward Spenceley | Ryan Bradel | Amanda Merced | Antonio Pampena | Ben Wheat | Allison Giddens | Elizabeth C. #SupplyChainCompliance #PrimeContractors #National8aAssociation #ContractManagement #CMMC
