Cyber Informed Engineering Needs A Jumpstart
One reason new ideas, concepts, and methodologies fail is they take too long to try and get early wins. I think CIE is in danger of becoming a well-documented, good comprehensive methodology, and ultimately failed approach to a problem.
This is not an argument against anything in CIE, or the related CCE, although I could point out parts that are not worth the time or cost. It’s about losing its moment in time when it had some mindshare and momentum.
Dale’s book is filled with a short and important task for each week of the year. If you were unable to get your copy at S4, not to worry. You can see this weeks task and all past weekly tasks on the A Year In OT Security page. It’s also available for e-readers on Amazon.com.
S4x27 moves to it’s new and larger home at the JW Marriot Tampa Water Street. We had to turn away 100s in Miami Beach, and the new venue can hold 1,500. Plus it is a bigger palette for us to hold the conference, related events, and the social events.
Sponsors are now being selected. The Call For Presentations opens on June 15th. Tickets go on sale on Sept 15th.
