David’s Take
The aftermath of Meltdown and Spectre continues. Microsoft has halted some software patches for AMD chips, Apple has updates for various devices, including iOS and Safari. Please apply updates.
Two federal agencies have released a draft joint report on cybersecurity threats and are looking for public comments before February 12. They list several goals for both the government and the private sector to improve cybersecurity, including network edge detection innovations, infrastructure changes, and better security awareness. While the report is more of a vision and governance document, it makes for interesting reading.
