Shielding the State: Government Cybersecurity Market Insights and Trends The government cybersecurity market is experiencing significant growth as governments around the world prioritize protecting their digital infrastructure and sensitive data from cyber threats. With the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber attacks targeting government agencies, there is a growing recognition of the need for robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard national security, critical infrastructure, and citizens' privacy. Governments are investing heavily in cybersecurity solutions and services, including threat detection and prevention, encryption technologies, identity and access management, and security analytics, to defend against cyber threats and ensure the resilience of their digital systems. Regionally, North America and Europe dominate the government cybersecurity market, driven by strong government regulations, high cybersecurity awareness, and significant cybersecurity spending. However, emerging economies in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East are witnessing rapid growth in government cybersecurity investments as governments ramp up efforts to secure their digital infrastructure and combat cybercrime. Key players in the government cybersecurity market include cybersecurity firms, technology vendors, and consulting firms, who are focused on offering comprehensive and tailored solutions to meet the unique cybersecurity needs of government agencies. Despite challenges such as budget constraints, skills shortages, and the evolving threat landscape, the government cybersecurity market is poised for continued growth as governments prioritize cybersecurity as a critical component of national defense and governance.

#informationsecurity is of the utmost importance to Third Bridge Group Limited, and so, I'm excited to be among the best from the global intelligence and military communities, academia and private sector at the 14th Annual Billington CyberSecurity Summit. We are dedicated to protecting ourselves, clients and trusted partners across the globe, of course. And, it's hearing from the dedicated servicemembers, educators and experts at Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, U.S. Army Cyber Command, Carnegie Mellon University, ISC2, RSA Security, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Raytheon, Palo Alto Networks, Okta, CrowdStrike, Oracle, Splunk, Darktrace.... that makes us better in our mission. Some foundational components and trends being hammered home: 🤝 Transparency & the effective partnership and collaboration between the public & private cyber sectors. I am always heartened by this dynamic within #cybersecurity (I'm looking at you FS-ISAC) particularly because it’s so hard. (See: financial services and anti-money laundering) It's incredible to witness how bold and daring public/private partnerships yield invaluable preventive and detective benefits. (See: Ukraine) ⭐ Talent & leadership. This is a never ending challenge but renewable resource if we collectively commit to identifying, nurturing and empowering today and tomorrow’s cyber subject matter experts.   💪 Persistence breeds resilience. The good ol’ “boring” information security basics are incredibly difficult to embed and maintain. But, coupled with “people”, these processes are the secret to success. I heard a great quote yesterday, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” - Peter Drucker, from a ridiculously impressive Jen Easterly. ⚠ China, Russia. I loved the concise angle David McKeown, CISO at United States Department of Defense, took. To combat the persistent geopolitical threats to our Nation’s sensitive data: #automation is key to combatting the sheer number of people working against us, and #intellectualproperty controls, significantly reinvigorated, will cut off those same people using our innovations, creativity and inventions against us. 💡 “Technology agnostic controls.” That from Kemba Eneas Walden, Acting National Cyber Director. I refer to “product agnostic controls” when it comes to #compliance. Embedded in each is scale, dependability and resiliency. 💲 "Cybsersecurity is an investment." Director Walden also uttered these words, which made me recall our new CISO, Marc Davies, who made the same comment during onboarding. These aren’t expenses. These are investments and opportunities to distinguish ourselves and deepen our value. I'm looking forward to the remaining sessions and the additional opportunity to bring these lessons and more to my students at the Fordham Law Program on Corporate Ethics and Compliance.

Collaboration is critical and is setting up partnerships with cyber security, artificial intelligence, and cloud suppliers to provide joint customers with more ways to detect, protect, and respond to potential threats and attacks while improving data visibility and governance. Collaboration is paramount in security, as it entails the combined efforts of individuals, organizations, and nations to address and mitigate potential threats. In the ever-evolving landscape of security challenges, sharing information, expertise, and resources becomes a linchpin for effective defense. Whether it involves cybersecurity, counterterrorism, or global health security, collaboration enhances the ability to anticipate, prevent, and respond to diverse threats. Coordinated efforts facilitate the pooling of intelligence, technological innovations, and strategic insights, fostering a more comprehensive and robust defense mechanism. Moreover, collaborative initiatives promote the establishment of international norms and standards, ensuring a unified front against shared adversaries. As the complexity of security threats continues to grow, the importance of collaboration becomes increasingly evident, underlining the need for interconnected and cooperative approaches to safeguarding individuals, communities, and nations. #resilient #security #cybersecurity #collaboration

🌏 A Global Perspective on Australia's Cyber Posture 🐨 (9th April 2024) Jamil Farshchi - Global CISO at Equifax & Byron Connolly - Head of Programs & Value Engagement at ADAPT Jamil is one of the most prevalent and influential CISOs on the planet – outspoken and well versed with Australia’s challenges. He sees Australia at the tip of the spear, as criminals practice and optimise their attacks on AU targets, to then launch on US. His advice is for us to be elite at sharing, as well as at cyber protection. Jamil joined Equifax in the aftermath of one of the most consequential data breaches in history. During his tenure, he’s led an unprecedented $1.5 billion transformation and has now built what is regarded as one of the most advanced, effective, and transparent cybersecurity and privacy programs in business today. Prior to Equifax, Farshchi was CISO of The Home Depot, CISO of Time Warner, VP of Global Information Security for Visa, CISO of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Deputy Chief Information Assurance Officer of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration. He’s also an advisor to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In a candid interview at ADAPT's upcoming #SecurityEdge, Jamil will discuss: Collaboration: At every level — vendors, governments, NGOs and beyond. Transparency: Moving past the outdated “security by obscurity” paradigm. Top Risks: Worrying trends across the security landscape, and how to mitigate them.

Join Ross Rustici, Capability Area Lead Cyber Threat Intelligence, MITRE for his talk “Bridging the Intelligence Divide: Building CTI Blueprints for Value Based Production”, at SANS Cyber Threat Intelligence Summit 2024 on January 29th at 10:20am ET. CTI programs live and die by their own tribal knowledge. There is a large capability gap between new programs with small teams and junior analysts, and mature programs with a large team of senior analysts. Ascending the capabilities ladder is arduous and derailed by one or two key departures. We can bridge this gap. For CTI products to provide better value and sustain analyst attrition, the Center for Threat-Informed Defense and its partners created a new standard for CTI reports. We share a set of templates with prescriptive instructions on what to include and to whom the report should be focused. This talk will also introduce a publicly available suite of tools that will support best practices, automation, and enable dissemination of human and machine-readable reports. raising These capabilities will accelerate production for teams and analysts embarking on building new programs and careers. We look forward to seeing you there! SANS CTI Summit: https://hubs.ly/Q02gVdyz0 Check out the R&D: https://hubs.ly/Q02gVjXh0 #cybersecurity #cti
