The @JointCtteNSS held two cyber-focused evidence sessions yesterday. I'm only caught up on one of them, re: offensive cyber (looking forward to watching the ransomware one soon). The offensive cyber session is worth a watch for the thoughts of @DrAndrewDwyer & @tcstvns.

[Offensive Cyber Working Group @Offensive_Cyber]

Today two of our steering committee members - @DrAndrewDwyer and @tcstvns - will be providing evidence to a session on 'Offensive Cyber' to the JCNSS.
