The @USDISA is planning on looking at alternatives to the common access card, which US service personnel use to identify themselves to gate and chow hall staff, and when using computers.

DISA Director, @usairforce Lt. Gen. Robert Skinner, considers identity management an 'one area where the department can look to industry for a way ahead.'

'We want to leverage that technology to be able to provide greater options, so it's... truly multi-factor [auth]'.
'... the department must leverage what's happening in industry, and undergo a change in culture, to get to a "data-centric" environment versus a "network-centric" environment', that is, 'protect data' > 'protect infrastructure storing data'.

A thread on what caught my eye from the @WhiteHouse's Fact Sheet on 'Ongoing Public U.S. Efforts to Counter #Ransomware'.

#InThaCybers #CyberDiplomacy
The second paras describe the national security threat posed by ransomware and the global nature of that threat. No surprises here. Image
Counter-ransomware policy = Multi-stakeholder by design.

The state must work with industry and other states because of inherent technological and economic realities.

Plus, it takes a network to take down a network like a transnational ransomware gang. Image

Okay so I've had a chance to go through the Cth government's Ransomware Action Plan.

Here's a thread comprising some of my thoughts thereon.

#InThaCybers #Ransomware
I applaud the Cth for finally delivering this document, given the severity of the national security threat posed by the ransomware ecosystem.

A threat which the Minister for Home Affairs, @karenandrewsmp, highlights in her foreword. Image
The Action Plan rightly acknowledges the nature of counter-ransomware policy as multi-stakeholder by design.

That is, the state working with domestic partners and overseas partners. ImageImageImageImage

Today, @karenandrewsmp, the federal Minister for Home Affairs, released the Cth's Ransomware Action Plan.

While I go through the latter, here's a collection of my thoughts hitherto on counter-ransomware policy.
Part 1 of 4 in my series for the @anujolt_law on counter-ransomware policy, here looking at the national security risk posed by ransomware.
Part 2 of 4 in the series, here exploring the ransomware economy.

A few nuggets from the following readout:

Hmm, USA sharing intel with the Indians to help the latter's COIN and CT efforts in Kashmir and ops along the LAC? I dig.

'Enhanced cooperation with like-minded partners' = Wait, they're not going for a clique like others suggest?
Interoperability is already helped by India buying and deploying US-made platforms like the C-17, Apache, C-130J and P-8I aircraft, and the M-777 ultra-light howitzer (eg at the LAC).

This piece goes through the August judgement of the High Court, which granted the USA leave to appeal Assange’s discharge on two key grounds.

Additional to three key grounds that the USA wanted and got leave to appeal on in July.

—> If I were @TheJusticeDept, I’d be optimistic.
Of course, usual caveats:
1) I am neither an admitted lawyer nor an expert on UK law;
2) I have zero tickets in extradition matters, rather I am an Australian law nerd doing my PhD in critical software and infrastructure regulation; and
3) If you want to correct my points, please do for that helps me learn!

Per the PM's speech, 4 pillars of Indian #SpacePolicy:
1) allowing the private sector to innovate;
2) government acting as an enabler;
3) preparing the youth for the future; and
4) seeing the space sector as fuel for India's development.

#CriticalInfrastructure

Nicely in synch with the Quad's agenda for space cooperation.
