The @JointCtteNSS held two cyber-focused evidence sessions yesterday. I'm only caught up on one of them, re: offensive cyber (looking forward to watching the ransomware one soon). The offensive cyber session is worth a watch for the thoughts of @DrAndrewDwyer & @tcstvns.
Today two of our steering committee members - @DrAndrewDwyer and @tcstvns - will be providing evidence to a session on 'Offensive Cyber' to the JCNSS.
🚨 This is happening today at 5pm (UK time) - register here: events.teams.microsoft.com/e…
