An update on the hybrid war, where Russia turns to missile strikes, physical sabotage, and nuisance-level DDoS. Surveys look at the state of the SOC and the mind of the CISO.

Russia's Killnet suspected in DDoS attack on major US airports. Starlink service interruptions reported. Bundesbahn communications network sabotaged in northern Germany. Germany's cybersecurity chief faces scrutiny over alleged ties to Russia. Ben Yelin on the FCC's crackdown on robocalls. Ann Johnson from Afternoon Cyber Tea talking with Sounil Yu from JupiterOne about the importance and evolution of cyber resilience. Overworked CISOs may be a security risk, but in an encouraging counterpoint, another study shows a record of CISO success during the pandemic.
