🚀 Where in the world is Bobby Bermudez? Exciting times for Symposit! Our CEO, Bobby Bermudez, recently traveled to the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City, OK, for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Accelerated and Simplified Tasks (eFAST) Small & Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Industry Day on July 18th, 2024. This event was an incredible opportunity for contractors like us to dive deep into FAA procurement opportunities and network with key FAA officials and other SDBs in the industry. Bobby had the chance to meet with the Flight Standards group and the Civil Aviation Medical Institute (CAMI), learning more about their vital roles within the FAA. We're thrilled about the connections made and the knowledge gained from this experience. Looking forward to seeing how these relationships will help us soar to new heights! ✈️ #FAA #eFAST #SDB #Networking #Opportunities

📢 Symposit Cybersecurity News! 📢 The FCC has just unveiled a groundbreaking cybersecurity pilot program for K-12 schools and libraries. Over the next three years, this initiative will allocate up to $2 million from the Universal Service Fund to help strengthen cybersecurity measures in these critical public institutions. Applications for this program will open on August 29. With the increasing frequency of cyberattacks targeting school districts and public resources, this program comes at a crucial time. These institutions often lack the technology staff and funding needed to protect themselves, as we saw with the Seattle Public Library ransomware event we reported on earlier this summer. This initiative is a commendable example of our government responding proactively to the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. It underscores the importance of all sectors staying up to speed on cybersecurity measures to protect against evolving threats. At Symposit, we are proud to have helped and continue to help both government and private sector organizations bolster their cybersecurity defenses. Ensuring robust cybersecurity is vital for safeguarding our digital infrastructure and protecting our communities.

🔒 Update on NIST CVEs and the NVD 🔒 As part of our ongoing coverage of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) on the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), we have some important updates to share. The initial goal was to get the NVD back on track by September 2024. However, new research and analysis indicates that these efforts could possibly extend into early March 2025. This extended timeline underscores the complexities and unforeseen challenges that can arise from outdated cybersecurity practices and regulations. It highlights the critical need for continuous vigilance and proactive measures in maintaining and enhancing our nation's cybersecurity. 🔗 Read on for more information on the updated NVD efforts here: https://ow.ly/auXU50SPu20 Let's stay ahead in the fight against cyber threats! #CyberSecurity #NIST #CVE #NVD #StayVigilant
