Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency Director Jen Easterly emphasized that the unlikely partnership between Run D.M.C. and Aerosmith to collaborate on the song ‘Walk this Way’ is similar to the unlikely partnership needed between CISA and the hacker community to advance national cybersecurity.
In a discussion at hacker conference DEF CON with its founder and president Jeff Moss–––also referred to as Dark Tangent––– she emphasized the importance of partnerships between the federal government and the hacker community to advance CISA’s mission. Easterly and Moss also discussed CISA’s efforts to grow its partnerships with the hacker community and others in the private sector.
