First day on the job leading cmmcab.org as CEO. Honored and enthused to have this role. Much work to be done TOGETHER to reduce cyber risk to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). Let's build this ecosystem and do our part to protect DoD and our national security...

Ransomware is wreaking havoc on businesses across America. @CISAgov and our partners launched a new one-stop location with tools and resources for organizations of all sizes today.

Congrats to Jen Easterly on her confirmation as the next @CISAgov Director. The perfect leader for an increasingly important agency. Bravo to Brandon Wales to leading the agency the last 8 months. Excited to watch this team continue to do great things. #DefendTodaySecureTomorrow
Confirmed by voice vote: Executive Calendar #176 Jen Easterly to be Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security. @DHSgov

I advocate don't pay the ransom for 3 reasons:
Practical: you'd be doing a deal w/ a criminal, trusting them to leave/give back access.
Technical: you'd be buying a decryption tool that's not guaranteed to work.
Ethical: you'd be an active investor in a criminal enterprise.

Will likely move official Tweets to new CMMC-AB account soon. Keeping this one to continue following the interesting life and times of @C_C_Krebs.

Ransomware is increasingly threatening public & private networks, causing data loss, privacy concerns, and billions of dollars spent on recovery. Today we launched a campaign to reduce the risk of #ransomware: cisa.gov/news/2021/01/21/cis…
Fantastic decision by @JoeBiden to nominate @NYCEMCommish Deanne Criswell as the next Administrator of FEMA. She has the experience, smarts, poise, and key relationships to excel in this critical role.

We’re launching a new cyber effort: The Systemic Cyber Risk Reduction Venture on developing actionable metrics to quantify cyber risk. This information will be used to reduce shared risk to the nation’s security: go.usa.gov/xAmuv #InfoSec #Cybersecurity #RiskManagement

In the Summer of '19 @mastersonmv and the @CISAgov elections team started the #WarOnPineapple to raise awareness about how #disinfo campaigns work. Step 5, "Taking the Conversation into the Real World," is what we saw on Weds when incited insurrectionists stormed the Capitol.
Matthew Travis retweeted
We called out #disinfo repeatedly before & after the election. Yet the President & his campaign/lawyers/supporters fanned the flames for their own selfish reasons culminating with today's objections followed by his video message. WHAT DID THEY THINK WOULD HAPPEN? They own this.
Looking forward to joining @AliVelshi on @MSNBC this evening in the 9pm EST hour to talk cybersecurity and election security. Plenty to discuss this week regarding the former; disappointing that the latter still even an issue needing to be addressed in the 3rd week of December.

This is the coolest damn thing ever! Terre Haute and ISU legend Duane Klueh, 94, from downtown ... literally. What a man, what a cool thing to do, and for a good cause.
This is an important position within an increasingly important Agency. CISA must attract the best and the brightest from the tech community...

Privileged this week to be chairing the 10th @OECD High-Level Risk Forum (HLRF). 37 market-economy democracies taking on big problems like COVID-19, digital risk to critical infrastructure, natural disasters, and climate change. Managing high-level risk is a collective endeavor!
Sincere thanks to @AspenCyber and @karaswisher for having me join them to kickoff the 5th annual Aspen Cyber Summit earlier today. This Summit is must-see ZoomTV for all cyber professionals...the fun continues tomorrow through Thursday. #AspenCyber
