infallible, and with the right defenses and knowledgeable defenders, those adversarial supply chains can be disrupted. The State of Cybersecurity Threat actors are constantly active and evolving, and we are all definitely hearing about more and more ransomware attacks today. As security measures become more advanced and third-party defenders help reduce vulnerabilities, one would hope that the volume of these attacks should be dwindling. It’s true that bad actors are on the rise, but it’s also true that current disclosure requirements may be driving a lot of the activity we see in the news today. An attack which might have been quietly handled completely out of sight of the public and the government a few years ago is much more visible today. Despite all of these challenges - adversaries working with one another through their supply chains, using evolving tools and techniques in an effort to crack open your own supply chain at a weak point - there is still reason to be optimistic. While preventing these types of attacks is always preferred, mature organizations today recognize that prompt and timely detection of these attacks may be even more important. You want to know where “patient zero” is within your environment, and to be able to take action early in a ransomware attack, before it spreads and spirals out of control. After all, if you can’t see what’s happening on your network, if you can’t see what’s happening on your endpoints, you may not see the attack until it’s too late. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Passive Optical Networks: A Game Changer for Now and The Future By Folden Peterson, Director of the Federal Initiative at Quadrant Four, and John Taglieri, President of Mission Focused Consulting LLC The Department of Defense (DoD) faces challenges in meeting network requirements due to evolving needs, diverse missions, and coordination with other sectors. However, the current network infrastructure falls short in addressing these challenges. While acquiring more physical infrastructure or optimizing existing resources may seem like viable solutions, they also come with their own set of challenges. As an Army communications battalion commander, I experienced the reliance on human touch, tenacity, and innovation to make the existing technology work for our mission requirements. However, there were concerns about the interoperability of our systems, the durability of our aging equipment, and whether these systems aligned with the DoD Software Modernization Strategy from a resilience, unity, and cybersurvivability standpoint. To ensure that we effectively incorporated these mission facets into practical terms, my team and I consistently conducted planning meetings to project future budgets.
