“It’s important now more than ever that policymakers ensure advancing common-sense and bipartisan cybersecurity policy is a top priority for the 119th Congress,” said John Miller, senior vice president of policy, trust, data and technology at the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), a trade group https://lnkd.in/gYivu87C

You may have heard of the Secure by Design pledge, where hundreds of software manufacturers agreed to make a good-faith effort to work towards cybersecurity goals over the following year. 🗝️But do those goals work to secure an operational technology environment? 🏭 Congressman Andrew Garbarino, Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection, asked Jim Richberg of OTCC member company Fortinet that question during a recent Congressional hearing. Check out Jim's response ⬇️

Check out my latest study "An intelligent behavioral-based DDOS attack detection method using adaptive time intervals", recently showcased in the "Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications" journal by #Springer New York. This research delves into the domain of network security, with a primary emphasis on identifying DDoS attacks within computer networks through the analysis of user behaviors across various timeframes throughout the day. Our approach has been thoroughly tested on the latest CICIoT2023 dataset of DDoS attacks, producing remarkably accurate results. Special thanks to Dr. Shamsinejad for his invaluable support, and Dr. Javidan for his ongoing guidance throughout this endeavor. https://lnkd.in/dW_7S8xZ

Just a half-dozen leadership and oversight requirements from the 2021 executive order on improving the nation’s cybersecurity remain unfinished by the agencies charged with implementing them, according to a new Government Accountability Office report. Between the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Office of Management and Budget, 49 of the 55 requirements in President Joe Biden’s order aimed at safeguarding federal IT systems from cyberattacks have been fully completed. Another five have been partially finished and one was deemed to be “not applicable” because of “its timing with respect to other requirements,” per the GAO. https://lnkd.in/eJu3sHBZ

With Chinese-sponsored hackers lingering in the IT systems of various U.S. critical infrastructure networks, potentially imminent threats to the country’s national security abound. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and federal partners hope to lessen that threat by closing a so-called “software understanding gap.” In a document released Thursday with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and the National Security Agency, CISA said “decisive and coordinated” government action is needed to get a more comprehensive understanding of software-controlled systems. https://lnkd.in/e8kK3ipM
