.@NSA_CSDirector begins his "State of the Hack" address at #RSAC2023 Image
@NSA_CSDirector "SVR is on the rise," Joyce says. Russia's foreign intel arm is stepping up its activities in Ukraine after the GRU, the military intel service, dropped the ball at the start of invasion.

The FSB, Russia's internal intel service, is the 3rd major player.
@NSA_CSDirector "There is only a small distance going from intelligence collection to disruption. We've not seen that switch flipped. But we're being very, very careful to look" for that "escalatory step," Joyce said of Russia's scanning of supply chains.

"They are strategic, agile, brazen, innovative and enduring," Joyce says of Chinese hackers.
"I personally hate that we have become numb to the quantity of Chinese exploitation" and attacks on infrastructure, Joyce says.
"The reason I know that we're having an impact on the cheap and easy exploitation is because they have to use zero days," Joyce says of Chinese hackers, adding the uptick in use of such exploits is "significant."
"The other big trend you can't walk around #RSA without talking about AI/ML," Joyce says.

Audience laughs warily.

"Drink!" Joyce jokes before taking a swig from a can of Diet Pepsi.

NEW: The longtime No. 2 at the National Security Agency will retire soon, a move that could trigger a domino effect of leadership changes at the world's most powerful electronic spying agency and U.S. Cyber Command.

On @TheRecord_Media
George Barnes, who has been the NSA’s deputy director since 2017, is expected to step down by the end of the year, if not as soon as this summer, according to three people familiar with his intentions.

therecord.media/nsa-deputy-exp…
The deputy chief is responsible for overseeing much of the agency’s day-to-day operations & acts as a filter to provide only the most critical information to its leader. The role is so linked with the top slot that when one is vacated the other is often only a few months behind.

The House Homeland Security Committee is holding a hearing with @SecMayorkas.

I'll be listening for cyber mentions.

The panel chair finished his time w/o asking one question and mostly just yelling at the secretary about the border, so hopes are low.
@SecMayorkas "I think there's over eight reports that Congress does do from DHS and CISA," @RepGarbarino says, noting the cyber wing's force structure assessment is over a year later.

@SecMayorkas promises to follow up and says DHS is working "mightily" to complete congressional homework.
@SecMayorkas @RepGarbarino The competition for a viral clip on cable news is STRONG at this hearing.
