𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐀 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞: 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐒𝐏𝐫𝐨 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 Year 2024 is indeed shining brightly for cybersecurity cooperation and alliances with our continuous effort of bringing together all the cyber advocates and champions within and even outside the country in a plenary of mutual understanding and collaboration. And being in the forefront of these initiatives that further promote cybersecurity awareness and education across all the levels of the industry, the Philippine Institute of Cyber Security Professionals (PICSPro) has called upon a multi-sectoral gathering dubbed as PICSPro Stakeholders Meeting at Milky Way, Arnaiz, Makati last June 14. The said activity was attended by the following top leaders hailing from the different private and government agencies who are all keen in establishing a strong foundation of support in making a safer and more resilient Philippine cyberspace: Mr. Pierre Tito Galla, Cybersecurity Lead, USAID’s Better Access and Connectivity (BEACON) Project; Mr. Stephen P. Cutler, Chief Compliance Officer, OmniPay, Inc.; Retired Police Brigadier General Noel Baraceros, Senior Adviser, Office of the Special Envoy on Transnational Crime, Office of the President; and Ms. Zenonida Brosas, Former NAPOLCOM Commissioner and Former DDG, National Security Council. The core group was able to discuss several points of collaboration specifically on the aspects of cybersecurity training and development, community empowerment, industry expansion, and national security initiatives, among others.    With the continuous support of our technology partners, institutional alliances, and fellow cybersecurity allies while employing the concept of the whole of society approach in our line of work, the Philippines will soon become cyber-aware, cyber-educated, and cyber-secured nation as we envision it to be for the future generations. And as we create more avenues of opportunity and partnership that will help educate, elevate, and expand the practice and the discipline of cybersecurity in the country, you can be assured that PICSPro will strongly remain in the frontline of these efforts in making a safer and more resilient Philippine cyberspace. #WeArePICSPro #Cybersecurity #Advocacy #SaferPHCyberspace

Great article! I feel like you cannot have the network and environment segmentation pillar implemented well without a good amount of user and device pillar implemented. You need the role based access controls and device health posture to assist with the policy decisions on the segmentation.

Awwww, sheesh, now you've done it, Edwin. Be prepared for a Coach Mel rant. I've been on LinkedIn for over 19 years. Here's my summary of what is and isn't "cesspool'ish." I don't want to discount the genuine and authentic posts and connections I've made addressing some of the most challenging topics, just the LinkedIn Swamp side of things. - Genuine connections can be made, but they're crippled by "Demi Moore" and "friend" requests from bots polluting the ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/gXWrBubi - Bots, scripts, and sales pitches just kill the vibe. Hence my "Mel Rico" experiment, where I changed my first name to "Mel Rico," and ignored any request that addressed me as such. I still get those requests well after changing it back - In the 19 years, I've applied to over a hundred, maybe even over two hundred jobs with maybe a handful of engagements, can't remember an interview that advanced based on fit (salary, etc), and have never been hired. I get that I may not be a fit but why should I bother applying? I just relied on the power of my contacts and landed almost all my roles... - Working the "influencer" algos! I want to highlight two posts. One was an inspirational video post I found and reshared (luckily, I saved the video...). It had gotten insane traction, but I guess because the video had Sia's Unstoppable playing in the background, boom, my only 40k+ viewed reshare was taken down. I get the copyright infringement, but the video was insanely inspiring; DM me for a private viewing... I'm tempted to post it here again... The only other post that received as much traction was in genuine form. I hopped on the "beat up cybersecurity hiring practices train," and the universe answered. Not my most proudest moment, but again, the LinkedIn algos elevated that sh*t up. How about you rank my other content high, too https://lnkd.in/gG9XXYPA - I've followed the best practices but have yet to see any benefit of paying so much more for the next level account; I'm already spending too damned much, and the upsell isn't going to help me any better. My content, format, style, and engagement aren't a full-time job; help a brother out and stop playing the influencer game LinkedIn; we're just people looking to get ahead, not rule the social media world. - "Top Influencer" is a cute concept, but let's be real; you can game that system - For the love of humanity, get off the old code base & enhance your inbox messaging the 90's called, and they want to retire... My inbox is jammed with DMs from salespeople, so I block and ignore them completely! I will not support any automated sales funnel BS. I've installed Stylish and customized my screen to leverage the vastness of space; screenshots in comments. Rant is brought to you by Coach Mel. #StayAwesome

“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞.” 😉 In my ongoing pursuit to identify esteemed research centers specializing in cybersecurity, I have discovered a valuable resource that ranks these institutions based on their contributions to the field, as evidenced by the volume of articles they publish and the number of researchers they have engaged. This website, which I will share at the conclusion of this post, provides a comprehensive overview of these centers, including their global and European rankings. This information serves as an invaluable guide for researchers aiming to advance their careers within esteemed institutions and enhance their expertise in cybersecurity. If you have additional information, I would be delighted to include it in the comments of this post, ensuring that the audience benefits from a broader range of insights. 🤝 https://lnkd.in/duMST7w6

Such a powerful opportunity for women in cyber Executive Women's Forum on Information Security, Risk Management & Privacy Joyce Brocaglia !!

This last weekend, the FBSN hosted 15 speakers to address a group of church security operators and faith leaders in Fairfield, CT. We spoke in 19 sessions to attendees from all over the New England States. Many expressed gratitude for hearing information from others on why and how to do things well. I want to share a small portion of that information shared with the good people of region 1 of the U.S. Anthony Campbell (Yale University Police Chief) started things off. It was good to see an Ivy League College, Law-Enforcement administrator who really gets it when it comes to faith based security. One thing that qualifies Chief Campbell is that he is also an ordained pastor. From Chief Campbell; Have a segment of your team, or at least of your training, focused on the mentally ill. Faith-spaces are a magnet for the hurting. Be ready for them. Establish tip-lines. Often, others knew something was about to happen. If they know a place to leave anonymous information, they would do it. Security must be a 24/7 thought process for you. Not obsessive, but more than a hobby or extracurricular activity. He spoke of the value of having females on the team, not only for female actors but for males who may bow up when confronted with another male. KURT OWEN (FBSN Board, Vice Chair and founder of Kurt Owen Ministries and Griffin Defense Solutions) always brings new comments specific to that place and time. It doesn’t matter if you sign – up if you don’t show-up. Kurt spoke extensively of the concepts around Jehoiada and his security mindset out of I Kings, 12 & 13 as well as 2 Chronicles 23 & 24. Then from I Samuel 26:15-16, Kurt brought out how nobody thinks like you do, nor should you expect them to. You walk through that with honor. There is none like you. Think About it There is no way to capture all the great points shared by 15 great speakers in 400 words or less (as TAI articles are). There is nothing like being at an event to establish connections and learn enduring values in this great endeavor. We look so forward to returning to the New England and meeting those folks where they are. Plan to attend the Security Operations Summit in Denver! Here is the link to that primary annual security event: https://lnkd.in/giPMnDyf Carl Chinn, President, FBSN

Tips for a Successful Cyber Resilience Program - Olusegun Opeyemi-Ajayi, Chief Information Security Officer at New York City Department of Transportation - CSP #169 The cybersecurity threat landscape is constantly evolving, and experience has shown that everyone and every organization is prone to being breached. How do you prepare for what seems inevitable? You assume breach and plan accordingly. Cyber resilience has become a top priority as organizations figure out how to build a network that can either continue functioning or can recover quickly when faced with cybersecurity attack. https://bit.ly/49AUYRx #CyberSecurity
