Welcome to Town Hall with Gray Analytics. My name is Jay Town, and I am the Vice President and General Counsel at Gray Analytics. In this episode, in two minutes or less, I wanted to recap the 2022 National Cyber Summit and my presentation entitled “Evolving Cybersecurity Threats from Foreign Nation States: An Intelligence Briefing.”
The cybersecurity briefing was Wednesday, September 21st from 2:15-3pm before a crowd of about 250 people. There, we discussed the foreign nation states that pose the greatest threats to our national and economic security. Iran, North Korea, Russia, and of course China will all play a starring role in the discussion.
These nations are our enemies and are all threats to the United States within all of our economic sectors. I will share some examples of how they have impacted, disrupted, or significantly compromised the cyber environments of private industry and our most critical infrastructure.
I offered my thoughts on the economic espionage efforts of these malign foreign actors, especially Communist China. The CCP’s efforts to rob and replicate American products in the marketplace, and the tradecraft in which they permeate their threats against American sovereignty and American ingenuity.
In fact, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, along with the NSA and FBI, just released a Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures – or CVE – report that alerts us that the CCP is increasing its attacks on American networks. The report warns “RC state-sponsored cyber activities as being one of the largest and most dynamic threats to U.S. government and civilian networks.”
Make sure that your cyber environment, your network, your company is not the next victim of malware, ransomware, data exfil, or other cyber attacks. Not only is the federal government requiring cyber environments be secure to participate in federal contracts, but your customers have ALWAYS required it.
Gray Analytics can help!!
Stay cyber aware. Stay cyber safe. And Stay cyber secure.
And until next time, I’m Jay Town. Thank you for watching Town Hall with Gray Analytics.
