The federal cybersecurity system is weathering a series of crises that couldn’t have arrived at a worse time. The F5 security breach from Oct. 15, the proposed elimination of more than 1,000 jobs at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the ongoing federal government shutdown have created a perfect storm that is not only leaving critical vulnerabilities exposed across the nation’s digital infrastructure, but it’s also weakening the workforce meant to defend it. https://scoopmedia.co/4oRhZYe

Congressional leaders are pressing federal agencies to provide more information on their plans to compete with China on a range of tech and cybersecurity issues, including a strategy for promoting American 6G telecommunications infrastructure and limiting Chinese tech in US supply chains.

Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., ranking member on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, wrote to Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week asking for an update on the department’s work building international coalitions around 6G. https://scoopmedia.co/43NQiaG

From Starbucks to crypto exchanges to the messaging app Signal, the outages rippled across nearly every sector, shining a spotlight onto the country’s — and even the government’s — reliance on a mere handful of cloud service providers. https://scoopmedia.co/47tNq57
