• CIN will be sunsetting the official CIN app! The app will be turned off on Saturday, August 1st. Thank you to everyone who used the app to post updates. It just was not adopted as much as hoped. This is ONLY the mobile app. The CIN community is not being affected. :)

It's important to realize that there is an important 'teachable' moment created by Friday's massive outage. We teach students about frameworks and policies in several of our courses. If organization's utilized those frameworks and adopted and used those policies then Friday's outage would simply be 'an incident' and the organization's IT change management and business continuity policies would be activated. If members of the organization are properly trained on those policies then while there would be a disruption; some business could continue. I believe that many organization's had policies and trained people in place and what we heard about on the news were simply those that have more work to do.

Having worked for a major cybersecurity company for 24 years I'll add we would never hit a competitor when they were down with an event like this. Because 'what goes around, comes around' and it could be your company next time.
