Integral Federal, Inc.’s Post

One week has passed since the conclusion of the exercise, and I am sure the team is still reeling from the impact of this tremendous tour de force. I felt compelled to share this post to celebrate and acknowledge the incredible efforts of all participants. A hearty congratulations to the CrowdStrike team for their outstanding participation in #NATO Locked Shields 2024, the world's largest live-fire cyber defense exercise, hosted by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of Excellence (CCDCOE)! The mission of CCDCOE is to provide our member nations and NATO with unparalleled interdisciplinary expertise in cyber defense research, training, and exercises. This encompasses technology, strategy, operations, and legal frameworks. During the exercise, #Romania 🇷🇴 was proudly represented in Blue Team 05 (BT05) by top-tier specialists from both public and private sectors, including military experts from the Republic of #Moldova 🇲🇩 and #Bulgaria 🇧🇬. CrowdStrike played a key role, contributing not just with our flagship #Falcon platform, but also with the invaluable expertise of our team members, who were involved in pre-exercise training for the team. Locked Shields is a critical exercise where Red Teams and Blue Teams go head-to-head. It's designed to sharpen cybersecurity experts' skills in defending national IT systems and critical infrastructure against real-time attacks. The scenarios are crafted to be as realistic as possible, incorporating cutting-edge technologies and simulating the full complexity of a massive cyber incident. This includes strategic decision-making, legal challenges, and communication hurdles, as described by the CCDCOE. We urgently need more exercises like this, where public and private sectors, vendors, and systems integrators can collaborate effectively. Let’s celebrate these initiatives and stay open to more opportunities to strengthen our defenses together! #CrowdStrike #LockedShields2024 #CyberDefense #NATO #CCDCOE #CyberSecurity #PublicPrivatePartnership #Teamwork #CyberExercise #FalconPlatform

Looking forward to speaking at the UKSG Conference this morning on Cybersecurity and Censorship. Myself, and the wonderful Graeme Moss and Dan Conn will be exploring how cybersecurity can protect academic freedom and safeguard sensitive data from tampering or deletion, particularly in environments where research is at risk of suppression. I am sure we will discuss real-world examples of governments or bad actors targeting institutions and the vital role libraries and publishers play in preserving environmental, political, and social research. Question and keen to hear thoughts from my network. Can cybersecurity strategies effectively shield faculty and students from censorship or data suppression? #Censorship #cybersecurity Tasha Mellins-Cohen

TechNet Cyber will be a huge conference again this year. I’m looking forward to being there to support our DoD and Industry partners! Please stop by our booth for a brief conversation with our team to learn how and why Pure Storage’s approach is different than all other contemporary alternatives and should be at the foundation of DoD weapon systems to support the American warfighter’s data dominance!

The Cyber force generation mission must be managed by a separate staff and process -- apart from the force employment mission. To date, USCYBERCOM has endeavored to manage both under the same organization, with force generation shortfalls due to the staff focus on global operations missions. USSOCOM has effectively bifurcated its force generation and force employment missions, but there are distinct differences among the Services' ability to support USCYBERCOM vs. USSOCOM, so there are strong arguments to be made for a Cyber Service.
