Our globally connected digital ecosystem is under constant attack by bad actors seeking to create or exploit hardware and software vulnerabilities and penetrate system defenses, so on March 1 of this year, the White House released a broadly conceived national cybersecurity strategy. The goal of this strategy is to promote and implement robust measures designed to detect, resist, and repel the attacks of 21st-century adversaries, whether they are nation-states or illegal enterprises seeking ransoms or attempting to misappropriate valuable data and information. Effective user actions like strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and abiding by sound security measures are essential to resisting harmful attacks such as the Colonial Pipeline incident that led to regional gasoline shortages and costly price hikes.
As we approach the the two-month anniversary of the release of the U.S. National Cybersecurity Strategy, join us as we welcome Len Kennedy, adjunct professor at Cornell Law School, as he breaks down some key takeaways in the cybersecurity strategy as well as how some of these strategies apply to you personally, as an employee and as a citizen.
