PMCs are organized mercenaries for hire. We see them in physical conflicts, but what about the cyber battlefields?

The Economist did a piece on PMCs but it misses the evolution of how cyber mercenaries are being used by governments to do battle in cyberspace

I recently noticed how many posts are created using #AI. Unfortunately, Sadly, it is undermining how the #cybersecurity community can work together.

For the record, I create all my own posts. The thoughts are original and the comments are my own (…the sarcasm and dry humor is a free bonus)!

A great discussion about practical #cybersecurity leadership!

Cybersecurity is better managed when good leadership has prepared for new attacks, implementation of disruptive innovation, and maneuvers from adaptive threats.
