- I am honored to serve as the director of @CISAgov and I’m grateful that @POTUS and @SecMayorkas have put their faith in me to lead the agency that works tirelessly to defend today and secure tomorrow.
- Happy Birthday to Amazing Grace Hopper, a pioneer in computer science, role model, & all around a$$-kicking leader. Fave quotes: 1. “The most dangerous phrase in the language: ‘We’ve always done it this way.’” 2. “You manage things; you lead people.” (Oh, and…Beat Navy!)
- We at @CISAgov greatly value the partnerships and efforts of researchers, hackers, academics, and any others working to find and responsibly disclose vulnerabilities, which makes us all more safe & more secure. (1/2)
- 🚨Foreign actors may intensify efforts to spread disinformation surrounding the midterms to promote distrust in US democratic processes. Review this PSA & take steps to stay vigilant against malicious foreign influence campaigns: go.dhs.gov/ZTD
- 🛡As a combat veteran, I’m in total awe of the courage of the 🇺🇦 people. While there are no specific threats to 🇺🇸, we must be prepared for spillover effects of 🇷🇺 cyber ops or an uptick in ransomware. We’re continuing to update cisa.gov/shields-up w/info to reduce your risk.
- I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Enabling multi-factor authentication makes you 99% less likely to get hacked. Enable MFA! Here’s more info: cisa.gov/publication/mu…
- Saw #First7Jobs trending. Here's mine: 1. Don't 2. Share 3. Your 4. Personal 5. Info 6. With 7. Strangers "What was your first job" is often a security question - hackers can use this info to break into your accounts. Follow the Cyber Essentials:
First in the 202: Famed hacker and Twitter whistleblower Peiter 'Mudge' Zatko is joining the Biden administration washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…- 20 years ago, I lost my little brother Elias to suicide. Funny, smart, and kind, Eli was a gentle soul whose absence from the world makes it a little less bright.
- 💯agree with this & something we're working on aggressively @CISAgov as we grow our team. At the entry level, it shouldn't be about experience (or even necessarily whether you have a college degree); for me, it's all about APTITUDE & ATTITUDE.We firmly believe entry level should mean entry level. #cybersecurity #InfosecMemes #CybersecurityMemes
- 🛡As @POTUS notes, 🇷🇺 is exploring options for cyberattacks in the US, highlighting the evolution of a credible cyber threat to the Homeland. ALL orgs must act NOW to ensure preparedness. Go to CISA.GOV/SHIELDS-UP for steps you can take to reduce risk. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
