Good morning, everyone!

The latest critical vulnerabilities: Cisco has released critical fixes for its Firepower firewalls and Nexus and UCS series devices Patch All the Things!

Protect Yourself with Basic Cyber Hygiene

CISA recently announced its Shields Up program to help individuals and organizations protect themselves against possible Russian cyber attacks. Of course, this good advice will help protect you from most ANY cyber attack! So it’s worth reviewing what I consider the top three:

(1) Require Multi-Factor Authentication for all remote access and online accounts

(2) Keep all sofware patched and up to date – operating systems, applications and firmware.

(3) Follow best practices for securing cloud services

Shields Up, everybody! Have a great (and safe) week.

Join me in Biloxi this week! I'll be talking about Cyber Security for the Supply Chain on Thursday -- and I'd be happy to speak at your next event!

Remember, you can read past editions of this newsletter on our website, along with tons more information under the Resources tab.

Talk to you again soon!
