This Memorial Day, as we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, let's also consider how we can support our veterans who continue to protect us in new ways, especially in the field of cybersecurity. Veterans bring a unique set of skills to cybersecurity—discipline, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of risk management. Default action and decisiveness also make them invaluable in incidents response. They have defended our freedoms on the battlefield, and now many of them are on the front lines of our digital defenses. Here’s how we can honor their service: 1. Hire Veterans: Actively seek out veterans for cybersecurity roles. Their military experience provides a strong foundation for tackling cyber threats. The Honor Foundation is a great source. 2. Provide Training: Offer specialized training programs to help veterans transit ion into cybersecurity careers. This not only benefits them but also strengthens our security infrastructure. 3. Mentorship Programs: Establish mentorship initiatives that connect veterans with experienced cybersecurity professionals. This helps them navigate the corporate world and develop new skills. 4. Support Networks: Create support networks within organizations to address the unique challenges veterans may face in the civilian workforce. 5. Raise Awareness: Advocate for the importance of cybersecurity and the valuable role veterans play in protecting our digital assets. Just as they protected our nation, veterans now help safeguard our businesses and personal data. By integrating their skills into cybersecurity, we not only honor their past service but also enhance our security measures. This Memorial Day, let’s recognize the ongoing contributions of our veterans. They continue to serve and protect, ensuring our digital world remains secure. By supporting them, we honor their legacy and build a safer future for all. #MemorialDay #VeteransInCybersecurity #HonorAndProtect #DigitalDefense #Gratitude #cyber #infosec #cybersecurity #cyberinsurance #ir #incidentresponse #cyberwar

Last Saturday, I was honored to serve as the MC for a Patriot Grave Marking Ceremony for eleven Veterans of the American Revolution and five War of 1812 Veterans interred in the Baker's Creek Cemetery. The Stephen Holston Chapter - The Tennessee Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and the Mary Blount Chapter of the TSDAR co-hosted the ceremony. What follows is the text of my presentation before the Patriot biographies were read. "There is an ancient saying that goes something like this: A man dies twice, the first time when you stop breathing and the second when somebody says your name for the last time. A modern-day philosopher wrote "Some day soon, perhaps in forty years, there will be no one alive who has ever known me. That's when I will be truly dead – when I exist in no one's memory. I thought a lot about how someone very old is the last living individual to have known some person or cluster of people. When that person dies, the whole cluster dies too, vanishes from the living memory. I wonder who that person will be for me. Whose death will make me truly dead?" In the past, before technology and the digital age, the ordinary person, with emphasis on the term ordinary, was undoubtedly destined to die that second death in a generation or two because there was almost no thought, nor any way, to preserve the knowledge of a person's life. Untold millions have passed with no one the wiser they even existed! But the information age has helped change that! And while we cannot prevent the first death, we can all delay the second death of our ancestors and those around us. Each of us should find time to connect with those we know who are housing treasures of knowledge that may soon be lost and record that knowledge so that we can ensure that their names and stories will be talked about for generations to come. And, while we did not personally know these patriots, I feel that, in some way today, we are postponing or preventing their second death by uttering their names here today, reading something about their lives, and recording the information for the ages." #patriotism #history #america #honor

🔴 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy: Today, we honor the bravery and sacrifice of the Allied forces who landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944. It's been 80 years since the dawn of Operation Overlord, a turning point in the fight against tyranny and oppression. 💭 We remember the courage of those who fought for human rights, peace, and freedom, and we pay tribute to the victims of World War II. The liberation of France and Western Europe marked a significant milestone in the struggle against Hitler's regime and its ideology of hate. 🗣 Speaking of Hitler, many of us know that he died in Berlin in 1945, but some believe he escaped to my country: Argentina. However, this conspiracy theory has been widely debunked by historians and evidence. ➡ Let us never forget the lessons of history and continue to promote the values of democracy, justice, and human dignity. We are eternally grateful for the sacrifices made by those who fought for our freedom. #Normandy #DDay #OperationOverlord #80thAnniversary #NeverForget #HumanRights #PeaceAndFreedom
