Securing the Supply Chain: Third-Party Risk in a Connected World
***
Welcome to Week 24 of our Cyber Resilience 2025 series. Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored AI-driven defenses, governance maturity, and the future of cyber insurance. This week, we zoom in on a topic that often flies under the radar—yet poses significant systemic risk: third-party and supply chain cybersecurity.
Recent events—from the MOVEit breach to ongoing concerns about open-source dependencies—have made one thing clear: your security is only as strong as the weakest link in your digital supply chain. Let’s dive into what this means for public and private organizations alike.

Cyber Workforce Transformation: The Next Wave of Security Skills
***
Welcome to Week 25 of Cyber Resilience: Protecting What Matters in 2025. I’m Dr. Rhonda Farrell—and today we’re diving into a topic that’s shaping not only how we defend our organizations, but how we redefine the very roles and skills required to keep pace with the future.
🧭 This week, we’re exploring Cyber Workforce Transformation, what it means, why it matters, and how the next generation of security professionals will need to think and act differently.
The threats are more advanced. The tools are more autonomous. The stakes are higher than ever.
And the question isn’t: Do we have enough cyber talent?
It’s: Are we developing the right kind of cyber talent?***

What if we could see through the eyes of our attackers?
Enter adversary emulation and threat-informed defense—strategies designed not just to react to cyber threats, but to proactively test, anticipate, and harden your organization’s defenses based on real-world tactics used by adversaries.***

- W27/2025: AI in the SOC – Friend, Foe, or Force Multiplier?Link visible for attendees
CSTGIA 2025 – Week 27
The Security Operations Center (SOC) has long been the nerve center of cyber defense. But with threat volumes growing exponentially and attack sophistication rising, traditional SOCs are struggling to keep up. Enter AI. In 2025, artificial intelligence is transforming how we detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats. But with great power comes great responsibility—and risk. Is your SOC ready?
