  1. CISA reducing critical infrastructure security resources is worth watching closely. Less capacity to coordinate vulnerability disclosure and incident response across sectors means the gap between threat actors and defenders widens — not because the threats changed, but because the support structure did. #infosec #CriticalInfrastructure #CISA

  9. Modern wars are no longer fought only with soldiers, aircraft and missiles.

    Countries can also target each other through computer networks.

    Cyber espionage may focus on secretly collecting intelligence.

    Future conflicts may not have a clear boundary between the physical battlefield and the digital one.

  13. The BBC notes Iran-linked activity has been anticipated but sparse. Sparse, not zero.

    Operators of distributed energy infrastructure: audit your incident detection and response procedures now, before the next four-day gap in the logs explains itself.

    Reward: You've received a Warm Candle. It is not ironic. The grid is fine. Probably.

  14. 🤖 What does operational resilience look like in the age of AI?

    As #AI becomes more embedded in #cybersecurity and CPS protection, security teams have an opportunity to rethink how they detect, investigate, and respond to threats.

    💡 On Nexus, AJ Eserjose, Regional Director at OT-ISAC, explores why alerts need more than technical context. Understanding the operational and business impact of an incident is critical to making faster, smarter decisions.

    Find out how AI can help connect the dots at machine speed, correlating security events with operational processes and expected business outcomes, and more. 🔖 Read here: nexusconnect.io/articles/opera
