Iliya Sachkov, co-founder of GroupIB, is not a criminal. He built a state-of-the-art platform to catch cyber criminals with Russia's best interest in mind.

The sentence he received is a deplorable example of how Russia's top innovators are smothered by the corrupt Kremlin.
Russian cybersecurity chief jailed for 14 years for treason
Sachkov who helped found one of Russia’s most prominent cybersecurity firms was accused of aiding foreign spies.

DoE's Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model (C2M2) is worth reading. Its latest version emphasizes both IT and OT security and is aligned with the NIST 800-53 and NIST CSF frameworks.

#China’s new counterespionage law just came into effect. The law expands the definition of espionage to any documents, data, materials or any other items related to national security interests.

It leaves a lot of room for interpretation giving more power to the #PRC government.

How #Putin managed #Prigozhin’s attempted coup:

☑️ diffuse - take back control of key territory and information space
☑️ depost - strip Prighozin of his positions
☑️ displace - send him to Belarus

Any other major steps?
