The Cavalry Digest

We’re nearing the end of Cybersecurity Awareness month, but this has been a year of action for the community. When we saw the cavalry wasn’t coming during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Cavalry community came together to help secure hospitals, medical research, and critical healthcare supply chains.  Grassroots projects including the Cyber Threat Coalition and the CTI Leaguespurred to action, from providing threat intelligence sharing for the medical community to responding to cyber attacks against hospitals struggling to keep up with an influx of patients. What are you working on now and how can we help? There’s still time to let us know by submitting our simple form below.
