For my #infosec people out there: how do you expect the next 3-6 months to pan out with regards to the US Government and security? I'm kind of expecting an absolute shitshow full of bad takes, poor security, and crap that even the most newbie of newb security practitioners would laugh off. - ThreadSky

Not a big deal, considering they already outsourced a majority of their function to industry & community collabs, only thing holding it together was executive orders, bayleen string & chicken wire, so IMO net zero change. We're back to circa 2015 discord channels & reusing silly TLP protocols again.

I’m not from the US, but the prospect of the US NIST and CISA being eliminated or hampered by bad management is very concerning.

This topic was essentially my first skeet! It was also a question, like yours

I have so many diverging thoughts. We see “good” progress, hey the SEC will put C level in the slammer for material breach notification delays!

We see “bad” progress like hmm some congress people want crypto backdoors

Overall, I don’t think we will see strong leadership that furthers the national cybersecurity strategy

I'm 50/50 if that's because the role of CISA will get privatized or austerity cuts to the point of useless and then privatized, or it'll just be thrown in a corner to languish

I think in general its damning that the regulatory mechanisms with the most teeth are finance-motivated which I don't see a mechanism to change anytime soon

As far as the admin is concerned, I think the fed is light years behind what we should be doing

I added a different video on my profile about the stark contrast of what the PLA/PRC state actors are doing

If the admin is smart, they'll take the gloves off. Perhaps young computer literate folks might serve, if theres truly a cyber arm…

Ultimately there's a path forward but… obstacles
