For the day's last #Future Compute session are going to be talking about cybersecurity. There is never a dull moment in this space and we’ve got a very good collection of smart people to help us make some sense of it.

Our first guest is @likethecoins, the director of intelligence @redcanary. Katie is immensely talented and respected in the cyber threat intelligence field and that’s exactly what we’ll be talking about here today, her perspective on the threat landscape. #FutureCompute

@HowellONeill calls the last few months of a uniquely busy time in cyber, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. @likethecoins calls the invasion a very localized cyber conflict. We haven't seen global implications yet, she says. #FutureCompute

The risk of cyber threats is not distributed equally, Nickels says. #FutureCompute

We don't know what the nature of what "cyber war" could look like yet since the idea is so new, she says. #FutureCompute

What's the state of the ransomware ecosystem since the Colonial Pipeline attack?

There's a huge risk in ransomware on focusing on high visibility events. Just because there hasn't been another attack like that, there are likely hundreds of unreported incidences. #FutureCompute

What changes are happening in cyberinsurance?

Making sure institutions have better security in place. Policies are getting a little tighter. Payout amounts can be limited. #FutureCompute

How important is attribution in cyber attacks?

It depends on the situation, and it's very, very hard to attribute an attack to a given country or group, Nickels says. #FutureCompute

Next up, we have @royalhansen, the vice president of engineering, privacy, safety, and security at Google. He drives the information security strategy for the company’s technical infrastructure. #FutureCompute

There are few companies on earth whose infrastructure touches more companies, people, governments than Google. The scale, visibility, resources, and what they do with it all add up to make Google one of the most interesting players in cybersecurity. Let's dive in. #FutureCompute

One thing Hansen is working on at Google is keeping track of where code comes from. #FutureCompute

What does the next 5-10 years look like?

Change is happening so quickly. Modernization is providing an opportunity to standardize the technical infrastructure. #FutureCompute

How has the security landscape changed in the last 20 years?

For on, we're still dealing with the secure software development lifecycle, Hansen says. #FutureCompute

What's ahead in the next two decades?

Taking care of aging infrastructure, which is happening now, and industry specific solutions to security problems. #FutureCompute

Now, we'll hear from Brian Gattoni, the chief technology officer for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, also known as @cisagov. #FutureCompute

What are Gattoni's duties as CTO?

Data work, enterprise architecture and keeping an eye on future technology. #FutureCompute

Gattoni thinks about CISA's technical vision. Because of the government budget cycle, he thinks often of what's coming in the next 3-5 years. #FutureCompute

How do you attract and retain the best talent as a government agency?

The mission of the agency is key. #FutureCompute

@HowellONeill cites the Colonial Pipeline attack for changing the conversation around ransomware. But what's the role of government?

The voluntary reporting part of the process is very important to CISA for now, Gattoni says. Could change if needed. #FutureCompute

That's a wrap on day one of #FutureCompute. We'll be back tomorrow with more conversation on the next generation of technology innovation. Grab a virtual seat here: trib.al/Ti54cRC
