Page 7 - Cyber Defense eMagazine for September 2020

Welcome to CDM’s September 2020 Issue

From the U.S. Editor-in-Chief

As the summer winds down (in the Northern Hemisphere), along with the change in seasons comes a
broadening of the concerns facing the practitioners of cybersecurity.

In this issue, we are pleased to present articles recognizing a new set of challenges and potential
solutions offered by over two dozen contributors. The range of articles covers everything from high-
altitude perspectives of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic down to granular views of industry-specific
concerns.

While there are many points of view, even disagreements, about what will constitute the dynamics of a
“new normal” playing field, there is little doubt that we are facing fundamental and persistent changes in
the size and shape of cybersecurity practices.

We encourage our readers to take a brief walk through the Table of Contents, and then drill down into
the articles which most affect your individual activities. You will find thoughtful and instructive descriptions
of challenges and suggested answers, and we encourage you to reach out to our authors for more detail
and advice.

With that perspective, we are pleased to present the September 2020 issue of Cyber Defense Magazine.
We would like once again to express our appreciation to our contributors who share their expertise and
insights with our community.

Wishing you all success in your cyber security endeavors,

Yan Ross
