We are not hopeless or helpless when it comes to cybersecurity. There are many things that can be done to better protect the functioning of our organizations, be they public or private. The question is — who is going to step up and lead the charge?
When you think about the millions of hours that have been spent here in the United States on Incident Command System training, after it became mandated, how does that compare with the efforts we've made on cybersecurity training of employees? Cybersecurity training is the prevention-mitigation aspect of this cyberhazard.
We can leave it to the IT professionals to figure it all out, or we could offer our assistance and expertise to the effort. If there are companies that offer online training in cybersecurity — this is their moment!
