Billington CyberSecurity

U.S. Cyber Command leaders focus on partnerships and proactive defense at the 15th Annual Billington Cyber Summit in Washington, D.C. ☑ Through the merging of red (offensive) and blue (defensive) cyber teams, Purple Teams enhance security through collaboration by using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to simulate real-world threats, promote continuous learning and ensure seamless communication. ☑ Democracies gain a significant edge in cyberspace through alliances. U.S. Cyber Command prioritizes collaborations, especially in the Indo-Pacific, to build cybersecurity capabilities and trust. This data-driven approach aligns with the National Defense Strategy and enhances collective defense. ☑ Staying ahead of threats is crucial. Strategies like “Defend Forward” focus on vulnerability detection and information sharing. By collaborating with international and private-sector partners, we can identify and mitigate threats before they occur. By leveraging opportunities from these collaborative and proactive measures, we continue to tackle future cybersecurity challenges and safeguard our nation’s security. #CyberDefense #AI #USCYBERCOM #WeWinWithPeople
