From the Editor’s Desk

Dear Readers,

Here at Cyber Defense Magazine, we are all about continuing to
focus on best practices and solutions for you. Cyber Warnings
monthly e-magazine covers hot INFOSEC topics with some of
the best advice from industry experts.

In 2017, we’ve seen a tremendous growth in spear phishing
attacks with remote access trojans, more ransomware hitting a
new target market – healthcare, where all computer systems are part of a critical
infrastructure that affects human health and life itself. Thus, we continue to have
amazing writers help us focus on defense against these attacks with best practices at
logging, encryption of data at rest and in transit, and system hardening through
vulnerability remediation.

Our future depends upon the cyber security skills of teens and college students entering
our field. We’re pleased to say our Executive Producer, Gary Miliefsky is a member of
Phi Beta Cyber, started by Steve Morgan of Cybersecurity Ventures, with a goal of
helping educate high schoolers to consider going into our field. If you’re an expert,
maybe you would also consider visiting your local school and showing the teens how
exciting and rewarding a job in cybersecurity can be?

Let’s continue to share a wealth of information with each other to stay one step ahead of
the next cyber threat. We have some amazing writers covering incredibly important and
timely topics this month, so please, read on and enjoy!

To our faithful readers,

Pierluigi Paganini
