If 2020 was the year of the pandemic, then 2021 is shaping up as the year of the Big Hack.
From the SolarWinds breach uncovered in December, through the Microsoft Exchange attack, the Colonial Pipeline shutdown, and the JBS ransomware assault, adversaries are more audacious that never. At the same time, the Federal government has never been more aggressive in its responses – the Biden administration’s cybersecurity executive order is getting serious about zero trust, and U.S. and Russian presidents are squaring off over security. In short, cybersecurity on the tech and policy fronts is undergoing a major realignment.
In the midst of all of that, how’s your security game doing?
If it could use a couple more building blocks – or just a dusting off – MeriTalk’s UniversIT has the right learning opportunities for you.
