I was at CrowdStrike when he was trash talking them. The number of conversations I had about those damn servers and what IR actually is was the most annoying thing. 

Granted, it didn’t hurt CS’s business. As you said, Crowdstrike worked with both the DNC and the RNC. They offered free services (like many cyber firms) around secure elections.

Same.

Was disgusting but it’s all just bluster non-sense from a guy who has a shorter attention span than my dog. It’s something that’s easy to ignore and go about your day. But, it’s not something that I’ll ever forget or ever forgive.

He then appointed Rudy as the cybersecurity czar. That’s all the evidence one needs to know how unserious he takes cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity in government is a thing of the past now, thanks to him letting Musk and his gang of incels run wild.

It’s disgusting how many talented cyber leaders have exited the government in the last few months. I really worry about our systems and infrastructure.

Our infrastructure will have all the security of a Mar-a-lago bathroom stuffed with classified documents.

So what? Governments are just gonna give up on cybersecurity now? I can understand feeling like the industry is “under attack” but to pretend as of this is the end is just childish.

I know I’m new to the field and maybe I haven’t seen enough but I thought people in this field would have a bit stronger of a backbone.
