Aligned with this is the outsized role that private sector firms have in redefining national security.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is little regulatory oversight of social media. Given its growing role in national security, this will need to change.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are many current cyberthreats across social media platforms to national security, e.g., spycraft, information chaos, digital authoritarianism, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are new and emerging threats that we don&#8217;t fully understand yet, e.g., magnification, subversion, opening the floodgates, etc. See mind map above for further details on this. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to @Jenny Reich for an informative session that gave much to think about at the start of RSAC 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jenny Reich&#8217;s RSA Conference session highlighted the challenge to national security posed by social media and emerging cyberthreats. #RSAC2024<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":384585,"featured_media":4734,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[712027490],"tags":[712027523],"class_list":["post-4599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity-conferences","tag-rsac2024"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/rsac2024.jpg?fit=1100%2C350&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pcHAk4-1cb","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/384585"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4599"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4665,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4599\/revisions\/4665"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
