 What Happens When Government Steps Back

Now, on this episode, we'll be exploring a question that has been on a lot of people's minds -- What happens when the federal agencies tasked with cybersecurity begin to pull back? As workforce reductions hit CISA and the Cyber Safety Review Board is disbanded, many are left wondering how critical infrastructure and national cybersecurity posture will adapt. In this episode, we speak with Joe Slowik about the real-world consequences of these decisions, what gaps they leave behind, and whether the private sector can step in effectively.

We’ll also explore how threat actors like Salt Typhoon and Volt Typhoon fit into this new landscape, and hear Joe’s reflections on transitioning between the public and private sectors during a time of instability.
