New from Jen Easterly, Director, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, addressing this year's Cyber Storm exercise. I'm grateful some our Gate 15 team and orgs we support were able to participate in this significant national exercise. "Cyber threat actors continue to infiltrate critical #infrastructure networks with increased sophistication, persistence, and malicious intent. While some actors remain financially motivated, others such as nation-state actors aligned with the People’s Republic of #China, aim to compromise U.S. critical infrastructure networks to potentially disrupt critical services in the event of a geopolitical conflict. Organizations need to be prepared to respond and remain resilient in the face of these challenging threats, and exercises, such as #CyberStorm, serve as a critical tool to enhance preparedness. A few weeks ago, approximately one hundred exercise planners convened at CISA headquarters for the ninth iteration of the national cyber exercise, Cyber Storm. The planners, representing private industry, federal, state, and international government partners, managed an exercise that spanned across the globe to simulate a coordinated #cyberattack targeting critical infrastructure. What sets Cyber Storm apart from other cyber exercises is the depth and breadth of the exercise. We hosted over 2,200 participants from 300 organizations from more than 80 private sector companies, 35 federal departments and agencies, 11 states, and nine partner countries… Cyber Storm gave the participants an opportunity to exercise organizational response plans and capabilities, foster relationships with counterparts, and improve organizational and national cyber readiness and resilience. Participating organizations worked directly with CISA and coordinating bodies such as Sector Risk Management Agencies and Information Sharing and Analysis Centers to understand roles and capabilities during a cyberattack…" https://lnkd.in/emBig_j3 #cybersecurity #gate15 #cisa #preparedness #resilience
