November GoCyber "Thank You"... Looking ahead to December

GEOINT Grand Slam

Have you ever been watching a James Bond movie or maybe Mission Impossible, a Bourne movie, or any of those action/espionage flicks with amazing "fictional" techology at the characters' finger tips to track someone to a square inch in the middle of no where? Fiction, right?

NOPE!

Yesterday, we saw the basics of how Q would be able to find 007 on a random slope in the Alps by seeing how REAL threat actors are able to steer a convoy astray in Eastern Ukraine right now.

What a great Keynote Talk by Ann Carbonell!

Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) is not just a plot twist on the silverscreen. It's a rapidly emerging frontier in cybersecurity and the growing intersection between geospatial data and cyber operations.

Ann took us on a deepdive, showing that GEOINT is much more than just maps and satellites. It’s about weaponizing data and geography in the digital domain.

They cyber bad guys, our biggest adversaries, are using geospatial information to target critical infrastructure, military assets, and civilian systems—and the risks are escalating.

Thank you, Ann!

Also, thank you to Cloudflare for sponsoring the October meeting.

Looking ahead, I want to thank Stellar Cyber for sponsoring our December breakfast meeting.

The State of Cyber

Every year the President addresses Congress and the American people with the State of the Union, giving Americans the status of our country, our safety, and our security.

On January 21st, General (ret.) Paul Craft will be our Keynote Speaker and will deliver the State of Cyber, assessing the global situation and the threats to our country, your organization, your community, and your citizens.

Gen. Craft is a former Commander of U.S. Army Cyber Command and was "The Cyber Guy" for our country in charge of White House and DOD comm. If there was a satellite link, underwater cable, or a direct microwave link, Gen. Craft was in charge. There is no one more qualified to assess the current global situation than Gen. Craft.
