K12 SIX Releases Applicant Guidance for FCC K-12 Cybersecurity Pilot Program Investments Given the current cybersecurity posture of the K-12 sector—including the scarcity of K-12 IT staff with cybersecurity experience —such an open-ended pilot program may feel like both a blessing and a curse. Which eligible services would make the most impact? What time and expertise are required from K-12 staff to successfully implement any given solution? What will come of cybersecurity investments after the conclusion of the pilot program? https://lnkd.in/e4ir2QDY K12 SIX

This is exciting news for K-12. Your application for FCC pilot funds will go live next week. However, you will have a higher chance of getting approved with an intentional approach and strategy. TriVigil can absolutely help you get there in 4 hours and with E-rate funds through TIPS (The Interlocal Purchasing System). #cybersecurity #K12 #digitalinfrastructure #FCC #erate

Check out this podcast interview with me just after my TribalNet keynote in Vegas recently.

Following a significant wave of job cuts in 2023, U.S. tech firms have still been trimming their payrolls over the first four months of this year, but not at the same pace. A recent Reuters report found that, of the 257,000 layoffs announced since January, the tech sector witnessed the most cuts, with more than 42,400 positions slashed. At the same time, departments that appeared insulated from previous rounds of belt-tightening are no longer immune. After years of watching their budgets steadily increase as attacks and breaches proliferated, #cybersecurity divisions have reported cuts and hiring freezes since the start of the year, according to the Wall Street Journal. There are, however, opportunities for those looking to get back to work right away. In April, CompTIA crunched recent U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers and found that tech companies added 6,000 jobs over the last month, pushing the unemployment rate for the sector to roughly 3 percent. For tech and cybersecurity professionals caught up in a cycle of layoffs and job hunting, getting a resume polished, reworked and revitalized is a significant first step in the process. Cybersecurity industry insights and experts who see multiple job candidates a week noted that merely reordering work history and adding details from the last position is not enough. #jobhunting #jobskills #techjobs

I am looking forward to representing the REN-ISAC at the Internet2 Technology Exchange on December 10 in Boston. My presentation, “Enhancing Your Cybersecurity Posture in an Increasingly Complex Environment,” will focus on strategies to address today’s evolving higher ed threat landscape and strengthen organizational resilience. In addition to presenting, I look forward to meeting with current members and engaging with potential members to discuss how the REN-ISAC supports the higher education and research community in addressing critical cybersecurity challenges. #TechEX24

This is an interesting perspective. The CISO role going away and finding back into the CIO role. Or will it? Let’s keep this “prediction” in mind and see how the trend goes.
