2024-03-01 06:00

In this Help Net Security interview, Geoffrey Mattson, CEO of Xage Security, discusses the evolution of the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative since its 2021 inception and tackles its 2024 strategic priorities in response to escalating cyber threats.

For 2024, the prevailing theme across its current priorities is cyber hardening and bracing for impact.

The key factors driving the strategic direction include the need to prepare for significant cyber incidents, raise the cybersecurity baseline across critical infrastructure entities, measurably decrease the impact of ransomware, and foster a world where technology is Secure by Design.

How is JCDC assisting state and local election officials in securing their networks and infrastructure against cyber threats, and what role does this play in the broader national election security efforts?

JCDC will provide state and local election officials with essential information and tools to fortify their networks and infrastructure against cyber threats.

Challenges in the evolving cyber threat landscape include the rapid pace of technological change, the sophistication of cyber adversaries, the interconnected nature of global networks, and the need for adaptive and agile cybersecurity strategies to stay ahead of emerging threats.
