Today's Friday Op-Ed is my opinion on this week's release of the NIST Cyber Security Framework v2.0.  Needless to say, I have some thoughts. And I placed many of them in this article on my substack:  https://cyburguy.substack.com/p/nists-cyber-security-framework-v20.

Please subscribe or find me on LinkedIN.  I am open to dissenting opinions.

Have a good weekend.

Welcome to the February 21, 2024 edition of the CyBUr Smart Morning News Update. 

Your morning cyber news hit with some education and opinion thrown in for good measure. It's a Deep Dive Wednesday and I talk mostly about Ransomware, based on the LockBit Takedown.

BLUF: Ransomware will continue, but it is a positive law enforcement action.
