‚This week, #BAKS is organising the Deutsches Forum Sicherheitspolitik, or German forum Security Policy #DFS2023, and we are happy to partake in some events that talk about different dimensions of #CyberSecurity policy.

Tomorrow SNV's Julia Schütze will hold a background talk on 'How to boost cyber resilience of towns, communities, and cities', discussing how we can develop policies on a #federal level that increase the resilience of IT-systems on the local level.

In honor of International Women's Day we present some phenomenal women discussing how to make #cybersecurity less daunting and better understood.
Panelists; Jaya Baloo, Suzie Squier, Megan Stifel, and moderator J. Michael Daniel

Mention cybersecurity to most people and the reaction is rarely, “Oh, I understand what that’s about.” Instead, most people think of it as a mystic art, understood only by a few (nerdy) hacker-types (in hoodies). Yet, cybersecurity is now critical to almost every economic, social, and public safety function in society. As an industry and discipline, we need to make cybersecurity more accessible, easier to implement, and more explainable. We will always need highly skilled professionals with knowledge and skills few others possess, but just like first aid in the medical field or routine car maintenance in the automotive industry, we also need broad knowledge and action across almost everyone in society.

On January 19, a team of us ran the 6th #HackersOnTheHill. 100+ hackers met and briefed 20+ congressional staffers in the morning. The White House invited dozens of us to brief them afterward.

It was a massive success! Thank you to all who helped and participated.

First, thank you, @spowazek for helping make things run so smoothly this year! Building on the automation and structure that you and Jennie built last year, this year scaled up (way up) gracefully with more than 50% growth!

Thank you, @RoRo for recording the public portion of the event, printing posters and stickers, and laser etching nameplates. Lots of work. And last year, building the streaming infrastructure that made it possible to accommodate virtual and in person participation.

Thank you, @winnona for being among the eagerest of us to keep the wheels turning, even cold calling Congressional offices to make sure members involved in cybersecurity legislation had the opportunity to engage.

Thank you, Katie Trimble-Noble for helping herd us to make sure the event ran smoothly and everything was thought through! And for helping inform hackers about what staffers do.

Thank you, @HarleyGeiger for supporting the event for the past several years, both in planning and organization, as well as briefing us on current events in cyber policy on the Hill. https://youtu.be/OUspGKVWYWQ?t=32

Thank you, @jackhcable for coordinating with staffers, lining up an interview subject, and getting a space! Last year your work was critical, flexing your bureaucracy hacking skills to organize space and entrance during pretty intensely constrained conditions.

Thank you to the many Congressional staffers who value engagement with the community. Who learn from us to get better at what you do, and who turn our knowledge into action. Especially Jeff Rothblum who showed us a day in the life of a Congressional staffer. https://youtu.be/cP4fSn4vyHE?t=233

Thank you to the increasing number of security researchers who value engaging with policymakers. We've come a staggeringly long way in six years. The next six will be moreso.

Thank you for saying 'cyber' unirionically and for doing the hard thing - peopleing for good.

Thank you to the National Cyber Director, Chris Inglis, and the Federal CIO, Clare M. for bringing us to the White House for amazing discussions. And to their staff who made the process easy enough even a hacker could get our WAVES forms done. Well, most of us. ;) https://www.whitehouse.gov/oncd/briefing-room/2023/01/19/readout-of-office-of-the-national-cyber-director-meetings-with-cybersecurity-researchers/

Finally, a BIG THANK YOU to Nick Leiserson, who started it with the simple words "I wonder if some hackers would enjoy a tour of the Capitol building," and now brought us to the White House.

To the many big dreams that start with "I wonder what would happen if..." and lead us to better things.

AFAIK, this year was the largest gathering of the security researcher and public policy communities. A major milestone, built by a misfit group of altruists doing good.

Lot of discussions and write ups this week on content. My take.
1. Content moderation is not blocking free speech. Looks like a seriously thankless job.
2. Respect to the people who do it. Their personal political preference being basic human decency.
3. Sack of salt with anything with ‘files’ affixed to it.

Useful listen in link. Any share specific to India and cyber policy is welcome. Thank you.

Hello world! I do SLTT cyber, cyber + ransomware policy, and try and help folks in California improve their cyber maturity.

Its a neat blend of working with people in academia, private sector, and government to make the ecosystem more secure. #cyberpolicy #california #academia #ransomware
