👨💻✨ The US Army has awarded Sealing Technologies, a Parsons Company $9.59 million for its Deployable Defensive Cyber Operations System – Modular version 2. The compute-and-data-storage system supports Cyber Protection Teams’ suite of Defensive Cyber Operations platforms and tools, allowing troops to conduct missions anywhere in the world, the Maryland-based firm explained. “SealingTech remains committed to helping the Federal Government and its armed forces continue to be proactive in its hunt forward operations to identify and neutralize cyber threats,” SealingTech CEO Brandon Whalen said. The contract covers one base year with the option for two one-year extensions. “Our intent is to be a mission partner providing the Army Cyber Command’s Cyber Protection Brigades innovative tailored capabilities to ensure overmatch over adversaries within the cyber domain,” SealingTech’s Army Business Development Account Manager Wade Saunders said. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #cyber #cybersecurity #sealingtechnology #usarmy

Connections are key. Got to talk cybersecurity and trade sea stories with a fellow Navy Veteran. Both Prowler guys turned cyber and information security geeks - he fixed’em, and I flew [in] them. There’s a sayong at USNA (and probably similar at the other Academies) - “Wherever two or three shall meet…” I find that goes beyond the Service Academies and extends to the Veteran Community as a whole. Doesn’t matter what service or job, officer or enlisted, or when you served. Fobbit, POG, or Grunt - it doesn’t matter. Instant bond and sea (or field) stories abound. We talked cybersecurity, primarily “securing the human”, and when the work was done, traded sea stories and compared our Navy experience. And I’ll put this out there - former EW folks - especially those of us that were on the EA side - make good cyber security pros.

I found this very intriguing but had some thoughts while reading it. As someone involved in cyber operations training, I've observed a significant issue with the current pace of curriculum development within the services. The methodologies in place are inadequately agile for the rapidly evolving landscape of cyberspace threats. While it might be acceptable for traditional weapon systems like missiles or aircraft to undergo 18 to 24 months of training development due to their relatively static nature, the same timeline is untenable for cyber operations. The dynamic nature of cyber threats means that training courses risk becoming obsolete overnight. Establishing a dedicated Cyber Force would enable the implementation of a more agile training model, allowing swift responses to emerging cyber threats and capabilities. Furthermore, a separate Cyber Force would afford the opportunity to reconsider physical training requirements. It's no secret that most cybersecurity personnel aren't enthusiastic about traditional gym routines. By tailoring training regimens to the specific demands of cyber warfare, resources can be directed towards enhancing technical proficiencies rather than investing excessive time in conventional physical training. While maintaining essential fitness standards, perhaps not as stringent as those in existing services, service members would have more bandwidth to master intricate cyber defense tactics, ultimately bolstering the effectiveness of the cyber force in safeguarding national security interests. Lastly, the logistics and support structure for a distinct military branch must be addressed. This encompasses provisions for bytes, boards, and backups (akin to the traditional "beans, bullets, and band aids"), administrative assistance, medical services, and other essential functions. One potential solution could involve integrating the Cyber Force within the Army, leveraging existing infrastructure and support systems, similar to the relationship between the Marine Corps and the Navy. This approach would ensure that the Cyber Force can access the necessary non-cyber support while retaining its specialized focus on cyber operations.

Momentum Cyber's 2023 Cyber Almanac is a must-read! Pg. 102 has some interesting data and hits close to home. This is why the FMS (Foreign Military Sales) Sector and helping our allies and partners in Eastern Europe and abroad are critical. Cyberwarfare is here, and unlike traditional warfare, there are no frontlines, boundaries, or perimeters. We are only as strong as our allies; helping them is also an investment in our homeland defense. Thank you to Bryson Bort for sharing this in your webinar today. https://lnkd.in/e92vM-ed #cyberwarfare #offensivecyber #cyberdefense #fms #cybersecurity

Is the frontline of national defense now at our desks? In what other job are normal citizens actively fighting a person on the other side that is wearing a military uniform? Today, cybersecurity professionals are on the front lines of a high-stakes digital battlefield, directly engaging with adversaries—including those in military uniforms. This isn't just another job; it's a crucial national defense position, combating organized, state-sponsored military groups. This dynamic field demands continual learning and adaptation due to the rapid evolution of threats. It’s a challenging, ever-changing environment that merges the rigor of intellectual engagement with the adrenaline of securing national interests. #Cybersecurity #NationalSecurity #BlueCollarTech #DigitalDefense #TechCareers #CyberWarfare #FutureOfWork #CyberTraining #InfoSec #EmergingTech

🌟 Deep Dive into Inventory and Control of Enterprise Assets - CIS Control 1 🌟 In cybersecurity, the foundation of a robust defense strategy starts with a thorough understanding and management of enterprise assets. CIS Control 1 emphasizes the critical role of maintaining a comprehensive inventory of these assets, which includes everything from hardware devices to virtual environments. This control is not just about cataloging assets but also about understanding their function, interconnectivity, and the potential risks they pose. A well-maintained inventory is crucial in identifying vulnerabilities and ensuring that every network component is under the security umbrella. 📘 My course on Cybrary.it delves into the intricacies of this control, offering a step-by-step guide to effectively managing enterprise assets. It covers strategies for maintaining an up-to-date asset inventory and leveraging this information to bolster your cybersecurity defenses. Join this course to gain insights into one of the most fundamental aspects of cybersecurity management. 🔗 Explore the Course on Cybrary for free: https://lnkd.in/gqkkaYCM #usarmy #usmarines #usmc #usairforce #airforce #usnavy #navy #uscg #coastguard #military #veterans  #informationsecurity #cybersecurity #technology #future #careers #socialmedia #strategy #leadership #inspiration #success  #CyberSecurity #CISControl1 #EnterpriseAssets #CybraryCourses
