🎙 A CISA director, a former CISA director, and a Pulitzer-Prize finalist and reporter for The Washington Post walk onto an #RSAC 2024 Keynote stage. SentinelOne's Chris Krebs joined Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Jen Easterly and Joseph Menn at #RSAC Tuesday morning for a wide-ranging conversation. The three cybersecurity luminaries discussed Chinese and Russian threat actors, the Microsoft breaches and Secure by Design, artificial intelligence, and more. "The challenge," said Krebs, "is that unlike even a decade ago, technology, cyber, information operations, Disinfo, is an integral part to conflict, to military doctrine. And when I talk to businesses about it, it's become increasingly clear that, unlike 10 years ago, business risk and geopolitical risk are intertwined. You cannot pull them apart." Krebs even referenced William Gibson's "Neuromancer" and its eerie parallels to cyberspace today. Krebs on Krebs next year? What do you think Brian Krebs?
