Dear Friends,
Since last month, we’ve seen a continuation and deepening of the effects of COVID-19 on
nearly all enterprises which depend on cyberspace for their operations. Both the articles in
this month’s magazine and our daily publications, as well as news from nearly all channels,
reflect the challenges of maintaining security in an ever-growing dependence on cyber-
related systems of all kinds.
At the same time as the “normal” operations of enterprises across the board deal with these
issues on a daily basis, one major periodic phenomenon is coming into sharp focus. The
election cycle in the United States is upon us, with a mere 4 months until the presidential election.
There is little doubt that electronic activities will have a significant effect on the outcome of the election. Already
forces from both legitimate and illicit entities are manifesting their influence. From social media to traditional
news and commentary outlets, both attackers and defenders appear to be gearing up.
The apparent result of reopening of various States and municipalities has been described as a resurgence of the
first wave of COVID-19 as well as an incipient second wave. Whichever it is, the effects upon widespread
operations in the marketplace and the more focused impact on the electoral campaigns are undeniable. We will
continue to watch closely and report further developments.
We are pleased to continue providing the powerful combination of monthly eMagazines, daily updates and
features on the Cyber Defense Magazine home page, and webinars featuring national and international experts
on topics of immediate interest.
Warmest regards,
Gary S. Miliefsky
