US Navy #RFI for #CommandManagement System. Purpose to provide hardened and secure system that links sensors, systems, and people to process information at machine speed to outpace and outsmart any opponent. Ease of integrations 🔑. Due by 9/20. sam.gov/opp/1e03344612…

Brig. Gen. Robert Parker on #JADC2: many lessons learned from Afghanistan withdrawal on providing #authoritativeData, knowing where the data is, making sure it is updated and there is processing power at the edge. Implementation Plan ready w/in 90 days. conference.defensenews.com/agenda

#NIST event tomorrow on #IoTsecurity, finding balance between security, functionality, usability, and price. Gov and industry panels to discuss. nist.gov/news-events/ev…

Recommend talk by General #Hyten, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Keys, US too slow, bureaucratic and risk adverse. #China is outpacing. Solid confidence in JADC2. US commercial technology is leading the world, but is not in the hands of DOD. brook.gs/3llms6r

OWASP Top 10 ranking has a new leader after ten years therecord.media/owasp-top-10-r… New (draft) #OWASP Top 10 released for comment. Interesting shifts, with a new leader, and a new category as #4, Insecure Design. Security needs to be #designedIn, not bolted on.

Great report by GoviniNews on #JADC2, DOD’s strategy for decision advantage across all domains (air, land, sea, cyber, space), networking sensors, information, and assets. Big Q, are 5G, AI, and ML #innovators brought in? Pushed out? Or unaware? bit.ly/3ELG3pf

More #ZeroDay attacks than ever before, 66 so far, almost double from 2020. Why? Likely combination of more dispersed advanced hacker tools and better detection tools of exploits. Or is software itself more vulnerable? Too low bar for cyber hygiene? technologyreview.com/2021/09/23/103…

DOD evaluated #costEffective (cheap) #counterdrone solutions, if challenged by low-cost systems, we need effective solutions that accomplishes the mission without breaking the bank. defensenews.com/land/2021/09/2…

Technology is on a more level global playing field, mainly in the private sector, and with “strategic competitors” ready to fill any gap. Tricky balance of trying to protect sensitive tech/capabilities that other freely distribute. defenseone.com/policy/2021/10… via Defense One

DOD #Review of CMMC, #CMMC 2.0. Now 3 levels, self-attestation of level 1+, implemented through rulemaking process, “...not approve inclusion of a CMMC requirement in any DoD solicitation [during rule-making]. BUT, lets not forget the threat is real! bit.ly/3nYbll9

When advocating for breaking down “technical” siloes of data and information, focus must also be on the users. There needs to be a similar effort to establish a powerful #organizational #culture of information sharing. #Resilience is built together.

#CMMC-AB just announced that the townhall this evening on CMMC 2.0 will feature DAS DoD Salazar and CIO McKeown. Suspect heated debate on the abrupt changes in scope. But, focus has been lost of the ever-evolving cyber threat. We are not more secure or prepared.

Great analogy by Dep #CYBERCOM commander, USAF Lt. Gen. Moore, describing evolving posture of its operations, from Football to Hockey to Mixed Marshall Arts. Bring tighter integration between offense and defense with persistent focus on the adversary. @c4isrnet #CyberCon event.

Deployable LTE/5G system by #Ericsson and #Verizon, #THOR, for mission-critical communications during incidents. An edge solution connecting (IoT) sensors for situational awareness in combination with AI for decision support can accelerate response. bit.ly/3cja1np

Garner suggests companies more from efficiency to #adaptive #resilience. Fine, but being adaptive is also being efficient. Also calls for adaptive platforms that are loosely coupled, but tightly integrated. #Hyperautomation with #AI and fusion teaming. bit.ly/3nKUxzm
