Cybersecurity programs are often viewed by executives in two ways: 1) as an expense of doing business, or 2) as a driver of differentiation or internal transformation. A key factor that often distinguishes these two perspectives is the confidence your team has in the financial and operational impact that the program and investments will deliver in the future.
The goal of this newsletter is to provide you with industry insights and information that will positively impact your journey as you build a resilient cybersecurity program and organization.
We hope you enjoy the latest cyber news that has been curated just for you. Happy reading.

CISA has introduced a Hardware Bill of Materials Framework for Supply Chain Risk Management, aiming to provide transparency in tech product components, similar to a nutrition label for food. While some experts question its efficacy, proponents believe it’s a positive step toward improved security, especially in IoT, and a move toward continuous security assessments for suppliers.
There may soon be unified cyber incident reporting options on the horizon. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is proposing a centralized reporting portal to simplify federal cyber incident procedures. With over 52 existing or proposed reporting requirements, this initiative follows the recent Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act or CIRCIA. CISA is leading the effort to refine and streamline these regulations. This development signifies a notable shift towards efficiency in cyber reporting. Gain more insight into this interesting topic.
Google has unveiled a new quantum-resistant cryptography method to fortify security against future quantum computer attacks. With quantum computing on the horizon, the need for transitioning to more secure keys is urgent, as current methods are vulnerable. Google’s FIDO2 key, utilizing the Dilithium cryptographic algorithm, is a promising step towards post-quantum cryptography, with plans to integrate it into mainstream security protocols.
