💡 We all use our phones and computers to take care of private matters, and it's important to stay informed on how to protect those digital breadcrumbs that could give authorities insight into your personal decisions. See below for guides & tips 🧵

This was so much fun! @lawfarepodcast from our #Verify22 media/cyber roundtable w/ @AspenCyber is live. Topic: Cybersecurity and Ukraine. @benjaminwittes talked w/ @KoriSchake, @MeganStifel, & Deputy Asst Secretary of Defense for Cyber Policy @MiekeEoyang https://t.co/wbz4zAlJJ8

[Aspen Digital @AspenDigital]

Preparing for & responding to cyberattacks is difficult & time-consuming, especially for small & med orgs, but protecting your business-critical systems is worth it in terms of time, reputation, and $. #cybersecurityawareness

[Charlie Mitchell @CharlieReports]

Report from @AspenDigital & @CarnegieEndow says identifying “unrecognized” software dependencies and promoting more diversity for software and hardware products are two ways policymakers can start to address systemic cyber risk.

[Aspen Digital @AspenDigital]

Do you know how to respond to a ransomware attack? It's especially hard for small + medium orgs w/ limited resources. ICYMI, we hosted a simulation w/ @PwCUS to walk you through what to think about & concrete steps to take now. 📽️ https://t.co/N2XWwVgolU

[Carnegie Technology and International Affairs @CEIPTechProgram]

Our @CEIPTechProgram and @AspenInstitute have teamed up to release a report on the growth of systemic cyber risks and what policymakers should focus on. Read the report from @JonKBateman, @NickNmb , @David4C1 and @beauwoods: https://t.co/2NFIEgg1E2

[Sean Lyngaas @snlyngaas]

At @AspenInstitute, @CISAJen reiterates her call for US businesses to "lower their threshold" for reporting anomalous cyber activity. She says that emerging hacking campaigns are more likely to be spotted by the private sector rather than the government.

[Jenna McLaughlin @JennaMC_Laugh]

Right now, @CISAJen speaking at @AspenCyber says there aren't specific, credible cyber threats to the U.S. right now from Russia amid the conflict in Eastern Europe, but reiterates the need to share any anomalous activity as quickly as possible.

[Aspen Digital @AspenDigital]

ICYMI, @CISAJen, @C_C_Krebs, @HerbLinCyber, and @JumpforJoyce discussed how govt, industry, and citizens can prepare for upcoming cyber threats, noting both "shields up" and "prepare, but don't panic."

.@Mandiant's @JumpforJoyce on cyber threats + #Ukraine: We have the benefit of tracking espionage groups over time. With this data, we can identify a cluster of activity that is familiar to us. This is how the 'Ghostwriter' Campaign was confirmed as originating from #Belarus.

[Aspen Digital @AspenDigital]

.@FSIStanford’s @HerbLinCyber on cyber threats + #Ukraine: Should our country be bolstering #NATO's #cybersecurity defenses? Yes, and U.S. Cyber Command has been doing so. But whether we will deploy offensive strategies to support de-escalation is still an open question.

[Aspen Digital @AspenDigital]

Former @CISAgov’s @C_C_Krebs on cyber threats + #Ukraine: This moment smacks of gangster diplomacy. For several years, the Kremlin has been turning a blind eye to the criminal assets in its orbit. This all aligns with #Russia's #cybersecurity interests in destabilizing the West.

[Aspen Digital @AspenDigital]

.@FSIStanford’s @herblincyber on cyber threats + #Ukraine: #Russia is probably already attacking Ukraine's critical infrastructure, like banks and power grids, to create panic and uncertainty on the ground about the government's ability to protect their country from invasion.

[Aspen Digital @AspenDigital]

.@Mandiant's @JumpforJoyce on cyber threats + #Ukraine: The group UNC1151 pushes anti-NATO narratives and conducts intrusions against orgs with a critical role in Ukraine. There have been 4 operations since Nov. 2021 attempting to drive a wedge between Ukraine and other countries

[Aspen Digital @AspenDigital]

Director of @CISAJen Easterly on cyber threats + #Ukraine: Given #Russia's potential invasion, we must continue moving toward a proactive stance instead of reactive. This includes supporting critical infrastructure and having the information needed on evolving #cybersecurity risk
