🚀 Inventory and Control of Software Assets - Mastering CIS Control 2 🚀 The second CIS Control tackles a vital aspect of cybersecurity: managing and controlling software assets. With the vast array of software applications in modern organizations, this control focuses on establishing a comprehensive inventory that accounts for all software on the network. It involves identifying authorized software and detecting unauthorized applications that could pose security risks. This systematic control of software assets is crucial for ensuring that only secure and authorized software is operational, reducing the exposure to potential vulnerabilities. 📘 In the corresponding course on Cybrary, I guide you through the nuances of implementing Control 2 effectively. The course provides insights into software asset management challenges and offers strategies to ensure that your software landscape is secure and compliant. By understanding and applying the principles of this control, you can significantly enhance your organization's cybersecurity posture. 🔗 Explore the Course on Cybrary for free: https://lnkd.in/gt62Anef #usarmy #usmarines #usmc #usairforce #airforce #usnavy #navy #uscg #coastguard #military #veterans  #informationsecurity #cybersecurity #technology #future #careers #socialmedia #strategy #leadership #inspiration #success #CyberSecurity #CISControl2 #SoftwareAssetManagement #CybraryCourses

To many, mixed reality is just a toy and the kind of stuff you see used for video games. But mixed reality is becoming much more than that and is now providing our military with incredible training that delivers our servicemen and women an edge over threats. “Mixed reality integrates virtual and real worlds in real-time and will be ubiquitous in future military missions such as infantry simulation and training, as well as actual tactical missions.” Octo, an IBM Company, has been developing these solutions for training and tactical use for some time and we don’t simply dismiss it as a game. These tools will keep our troops prepared and ready when the time comes. #Cybersecurity #Security #Defense #MixedRealitySystems

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 write often on this page about the shortage of cybersecurity experts compared to businesses' need for them. About 500,000cybersecurity jobs are going unfilled in this crucial industry. As we consider the nation's evolving cybersecurity and national security needs, one group always comes to mind: U.S. service veterans. Why? Because their military training and experience uniquely equip them to transition into the cybersecurity industry. That's one reason the Cyber Hero vCISO Network will work with veterans as we serve the cybersecurity needs of SMEs nationwide. Watch this recent interview I did with Antonio "T" Scurlock, himself a retired Naval (Information Warfare qualified) Officer. Learn about his work to help veterans through the National Initiative for Cybersecurity, Careers and Studies.
