John Riggi reposted thisJohn Riggi reposted thisAlthough my FBI career has come to an end, the work that has mattered most to me, helping people and organizations prevent violence and navigate difficult situations, continues. I’m excited to begin a new chapter. I’m pleased to officially launch the website for DrKarieGibson.com that will allow me to consult with other professionals seeking to address complex problems and prevent violence. Drawing on my experience as a Psychologist, FBI Profiler, and FBI Special Agent, my consulting business provides organizations with practical, evidence-informed guidance for addressing behavioral threats, workplace violence concerns, and other complex safety challenges. I hope to help organizations better understand concerning behavior, assess risk, and make informed decisions when the stakes are high. I’m looking forward to this next chapter and to the opportunity to work with organizations committed to creating safer workplaces and communities. Behavioral expertise. Practical strategies. Safer outcomes. https://lnkd.in/e5vT58hYDr. Karie Gibson | Targeted Violence Prevention ExpertDr. Karie Gibson | Targeted Violence Prevention Expert

John Riggi reposted thisSouthern Illinois Healthcare has exclusively retained Kirby Partners to support its search for a Chief Information Security Officer. This is an opportunity to shape a modern, risk-based security program that protects patient care, critical operations, sensitive information, and the broader SIH enterprise while enabling innovation and digital transformation. Reporting to the Chief Innovation Officer, the CISO will lead the organization’s enterprise cybersecurity, information security, risk, and resilience strategy at a pivotal time of technology transformation. For the right leader, this is a chance to make a meaningful impact where cybersecurity is directly connected to patient safety, operational continuity, innovation, and the organization’s ability to serve its communities. Southern Illinois Healthcare is a not-for-profit health system headquartered in Carbondale, Illinois, that serves the southernmost 16 counties of Illinois through its four hospitals, the SIH Cancer Institute, SIH Mulberry Center, and more than 30 outpatient clinics. SIH partners with Southern University School of Medicine and provides the region's only Level II Trauma Center, Level II-E Special Care Nursery, and inpatient behavioral health center. This position offers a hybrid schedule. However, relocation or residency within a commutable distance from Carbondale, IL, is required. Relocation assistance will be available.

John Riggi reposted thisJohn Riggi reposted thisToday we’re announcing Operation KillSwitch, a joint sequenced operation led by FBI San Juan targeting the Kill Security Ransomware Group (“KillSec”). Authorities in the U.S. and Europe took control of KillSec’s leak site, securing at least 110 terabytes of data against further criminal access, and arrested Dutch national Fouad Eltibrizi, an alleged KillSec member who is now pending extradition to the United States. As part of this global operation, #FBI and its partners made two additional arrests and carried out eight residential searches across Europe, seizing digital infrastructure, evidence, and criminal assets. KillSec conducts targeted intrusions worldwide, exploiting vulnerabilities to steal sensitive data and extort victims. The group is linked to 1,000 suspected cyberattacks across the globe. The arrests and other actions have imposed serious cost and degraded the adversary’s core capabilities. We have undermined the group’s ability to rebuild, limited their operational reach, and reduced the likelihood of future attacks. The operation was conducted in close cooperation with Europol, Eurojust, Germany (LKA541), Spain (Guardia Civil and Mossos d’Esquadra), the United Kingdom (Eastern Region Special Operations Unit), Romania (Central Cybercrime Unit), Greece (Hellenic Police), Belgium (Federal Police), as well as authorities in Switzerland (Federal Office of Police). The Netherlands also provided valuable assistance leading up to the takedown. https://lnkd.in/e_9NRUHy

William we appreciate the partnership with you, Michael DeGraff and others at the Joint Commission to develop and launch the Cyber Resilience Readiness (CRR) program focused on “clinical continuity..” That is the underlying premise, helping hospitals develop, test and maintain processes to provide safe and quality care during a 30 day technology outage.

John Riggi liked thisJohn Riggi liked thisAI is moving fast, and for a lot of security professionals, one of the hardest questions right now is surprisingly basic: What do I actually need to worry about? Can employees safely use public AI tools? What happens to sensitive data once it is entered? Could using AI affect attorney-client privilege? Where does liability fall if an AI vendor causes a problem? What should security teams be asking before approving a new tool? On October 8 from 1:00–2:00 PM ET, InfraGard National Members Alliance and Jetstream Security will tackle those questions in: Rethinking New Risks in the AI Age: Privacy, Legal and Security Considerations that Can Hurt You Join Patrick E. Zeller, Chief Counsel at JetStream Security Inc., for a practical discussion of the privacy, legal, contractual, and security risks organizations are navigating as AI adoption accelerates. We’ll look at where the real exposure is, what may be getting overhyped, and how organizations can build a more informed framework for evaluating AI tools before deployment. This webinar is open to the public. Curious about joining InfraGard? This is a great place to start. Can’t make it live? Sign up anyway and we’ll send you the recording. 🔗 Click to register: https://lnkd.in/eVGr3Z_A #ArtificialIntelligence #Cybersecurity #AISecurity #Privacy #RiskManagement #InfraGard Sandy Moul Caroline Schirato Corie Burke Daniel Honore Gene K.

This appointment is a well-deserved recognition of the tremendous work he has been doing to strengthen cyber and physical resilience for the European health sector. As I mentioned in the release, cross-sector coordination is absolutely essential for real-time threat intelligence sharing and collective defense. I know Vasileios is exactly the right leader to drive that operational synergy across Europe's critical infrastructure.Health-ISAC® Director of European Operations Elected European Council of ISACs ChairHealth-ISAC® Director of European Operations Elected European Council of ISACs Chair
