1 Million Strong: The Cyber Express Continues to Inform and Protect

Dear Esteemed Readers, Colleagues, and Friends,

I am thrilled to share with you a momentous achievement for The Cyber Express – we have crossed 1 Million Page Views! This milestone, achieved in less than ten months, is a testament to our commitment to delivering timely, accurate, and insightful cybersecurity news.

I must acknowledge the dedicated team behind The Cyber Express, whose unwavering dedication and expertise have been instrumental in our success. Special recognition goes to Rajashakher Intha, who has been the spine of The Cyber Express. This is followed by great staff, starting with Avantika Chopra and heading more on to Chandu Gopalakrishnan, Priti Chaubey, Ashish Jaiswal, Ashish Khaitan, Ravi Gupta, Vishwa Pandagle, and Vittal Chowdry. Their commitment to excellence has shaped our journey thus far.

Moreover, I extend heartfelt gratitude to our valued partners at Cyble Inc., whose trust and support have played a crucial role in making The Cyber Express what it is today.

Special thanks to Beenu Arora and Manish Chachada of Cyble, whose visionary guidance has been a guiding light for us.

In this issue, we present an array of captivating articles that shed light on crucial cybersecurity topics. Our Cover Story delves into the cybersecurity concerns surrounding the upcoming 2024 US elections. As the digital landscape evolves, cyber threats are becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated.

We also feature an exclusive interview with Jessica Berlin, a prominent figure in the realm of digital warfare and geopolitics. In this interview, Jessica sheds light on the implications of the UkraineRussian conflict in cyberspace, providing valuable perspectives on the ever-growing sphere of cyber warfare.

Furthermore, we take you on a journey with Erwin Eimers, the distinguished Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of Sumitomo Chemicals. Through this illuminating interview, we gain insights into the cutting-edge cybersecurity strategies employed by the global powerhouse in the chemicals manufacturing industry.

On a somber note, we bid a fond farewell to Kevin Mitnick, a cybersecurity pioneer whose contributions have left an indelible mark on the field. Kevin’s recent passing due to pancreatic cancer is a loss felt by the entire cybersecurity community. We remember his pioneering work and dedication to digital security, paying tribute to his enduring legacy.

As we celebrate our achievement of 1 Million Page Views, we hope you find the content in this issue insightful and thought-provoking. The Cyber Express remains committed to delivering the latest cybersecurity news and analysis to keep you informed and protected in the ever-changing digital world.
