When experiencing a breach, only focus on what you can control, says Brown. Otherwise, you're going to drive yourself crazy. #CyberSecure
Communication was also critical, says Brown. SolarWinds worked with @CISAgov and other partners to get the right information out there. #CyberSecure
Mandatory breach reporting? The definition of breach is important, says Brown.

"There's a lot of devil in the details for this one," he adds. #CyberSecure

Introducing The #ExtortionEconomy, a 5-part podcast series with @propublica that looks at the money, people, and technology behind the explosion of ransomware that is delivering hundreds of millions of dollars to cybercriminals around the world.
@propublica This is a podcast about ransomware... but it's not really about ransomware. Image
@propublica It's not about securing your password, and it's not about enabling two-factor authentication. It's not your IT manager telling you how to avoid a phishing attack. Image

Cyberattacks are becoming a “when, not if” reality. In the final block of sessions at #CyberSecure, we'll be providing you with strategies to help your organization fix security vulnerabilities and take the critical first steps after a breach happens.
First up is Alex Jones of @cobalt_io. He's discussing how your organization can reinforce its security strategy to better identify and address security vulnerabilities. #CyberSecure
He's discussing five themes:

-It's not a zero sum game
-It's not a technology problem (it's a people problem)
-The solution requires people and process innovation (the tech is there already)
-It's complicated, but not impossible
-We're all in this together

Cybercriminals exploit the lack of international cybercrime mandates and the existence of unregulated financial systems that enable anonymous transfer of funds. In this special programming break at #CyberSecure, @MarietjeSchaake explores the changes necessary to stem the tide.
We're seeing an interrelationship between misinformation campaigns and traditional cyberattacks. #CyberSecure
"When it comes to ransomware, the accountability needs to be closed ... That makes it too easy for maligned attackers to gain ground" - @MarietjeSchaake

Machine learning-based cybersecurity is only as good as the detection models it’s based on. This #CyberSecure session with Ignacio Arnaldo of @corelight_inc looks at requirements and best practices.
In the previous block of sessions, we touched on how, in 2018, @Darktrace showed that unsupervised-learning models can spot hackers who have already broken in. technologyreview.com/2018/11/16/139…
We also threw cold water on AI for cybersecurity, reporting on how hackers could foil these security algorithms by targeting the data they train on and the warning flags they look for. #CyberSecure technologyreview.com/2018/08/11/141…

In this next block of sessions at #CyberSecure, we’re learning about the latest cybersecurity technologies, including how artificial intelligence is being used to unearth vulnerabilities.
There are benefits and drawbacks to using artificial intelligence for cybersecurity. There are also a whole host of other emerging technologies that can defend against disinformation and computational propaganda. Providing an overview at #CyberSecure is @LUMKatrusya.
We’ve written a bit about how AI is being used to detect hackers.
