If there is a mid-term election in November 2022, we know of one vote that Marsha Blackburn will not be getting …. I am just going to rant for a minute. I have been thinking about the Senators voting to accept the electoral votes on January 6th 2021.

Cyber Command sailors stand watch in the Fleet Operations Center. ((U.S. Navy photo by Samuel Souvannason) The SolarWinds breach has kicked up a lot of dust. It’s thick, obscuring and deeply concerning. It’s also a long way from settling. But that hasn’t slowed the quick and steady drumbeat of postmortems declaring the shortcomings or outright failures of one aspect or another of the United States’s cybersecurity strategy and posture. To some degree this is understandable. In-crisis autopsies are not unusual in the cybersecurity business, and time is not an affordable luxury amid ...
