If you enjoy the CyBUr Smart Morning News Update where I kind of go on a rant, well this episode may be an all-timer.  BUT I may have come up with the idea for a new podcast. But I won't spoil the fun.

In this Friday's Op-Ed, I applaud this week's sentencing of one of the hackers behind the Kaseya breach in 2021 and discuss why these cases are so complicated and why we should all appreciate the efforts by law enforcement and the DOJ to reach successes like this.

This is a unique episode in that it deals with two areas of particular interest to me, China and Intelligence Sharing.

These two articles drive this episode.

With the RSA conference coming in about 10-days, I bring back a topic I mentioned about 7 months ago as it pertains to Cyber Conferences to today's Op-Ed. Are they solving anything?  I have thoughts.

Despite "efforts" cyber attacks continue to increase. I have thoughts on what you should do about it, particularly if you are a business owner. Perhaps someone will take me up on it.
