Cyber Defense eMagazine September Edition for 2021

Welcome to CDM’s September 2021 Issue
From the U.S. Editor-in-Chief
We’ve begun to turn a corner. Key team members headed out to BlackHat USA 2021 including
Olivia Gallucci as our Cybersecurity Reporter for Cyber Defense Magazine and the winner of
CDM’s 2021 Women in Cybersecurity scholarship. She is studying Computing Security and
Computer Science at Rochester Institute of Technology. She did a fabulous job documenting
her findings on the trade show floor with three very well written articles you’ll find inside this
edition.
While the turnout was not like pre-COVID-19, we hope it’s a growing trend and that RSA
Conference 2022 will continue the trend for what’s so important to us humans – in person social
interaction. There’s no virtual experience that can replace a handshake and a sit down gathering
where experts share ideas and mingling with like minded infosec professionals is most
enjoyable.
We always like to look ahead and project tomorrow being a better day for cybersecurity. Right
around the corner next month is Cybersecurity Awareness Month - so many infosec vendors
are already gearing up with their thoughts and ideas on how to turn the ransomware, cloud
threats and work from home attacks around.
We, also, at Cyber Defense Magazine attempt, each month, to be most valuable to our readers
by keeping current on emerging trends and solutions in the world of cybersecurity. To this end,
we commend your attention to the valuable information provided by our expert contributors.
Wishing you all success in your cybersecurity endeavors,
Yan Ross
