This Cybersecurity Community Is Not Like the Others

There are many great communities out there that focus on CISOs and those who report to them. But at CYBR.SEC.Community, we've decided to build a bigger tent.

Greetings, friends.

Cybersecurity is more than keyboards, dashboards, and job titles. At CYBR.SEC.Community, we’re researching the broader ecosystem of roles, skills, and people that make this community work. Erecting a bigger tent, you could say – one with plenty of room for all of you. Doesn't matter if you work in a SOC or on the marketing team of a security vendor: We want to help you be heard and seen.

CYBR.SEC.Community CEO Michael Farnum lays it all out in this blog post, arguing that "Community Yields Better Resilience":

One of the people on that FollowFriday list is Kelley Misata, whose specialty is helping the non-profit side of the industry. This week, she wrote her first blog post on this site:

Also important are the things we choose to focus on in this community. There's the latest news analysis, to be sure, like this report from George V. Hulme on how medical device procurement standards are tightening and budgets are growing but organizations are not keeping pace with threat actors as their attacks become more frequent ...

... and this article to help the community build a vulnerability intelligence pipeline that doesn't rely on NIST's NVD:

We also continue to focus heavily on mental health in cybersecurity, as highlighted in this post marking the start of Mental Health Awareness Month:

We also continue to spotlight our best voices in OT security by sharing their full talks from OT.SEC.CON:

Community does Yield Better Resilience, and we're in it for the long haul.
