Ohio finds itself facing a rapidly escalating wave of cybersecurity threats, ones that no longer resemble the simple phishing emails or brute-force attacks of the past. Today’s threats are more deceptive, more adaptive, and more damaging. Fueled by artificial intelligence, sophisticated social engineering, and the vulnerabilities of legacy infrastructure, these attacks aim to cripple essential services, sow public distrust, and extract financial leverage from overstretched agencies.

This article explores the tactics behind these attacks, why they’re so effective, and how adopting GovRAMP-authorized cloud security offers public agencies a clear, practical, and achievable path forward.

Web browsers are massive, in many ways becoming a new operating system we use to access data, watch videos, and manage professional services. Following that, browser extensions have quietly become one of the most overlooked risks in enterprise security. And as the recent revelations about the campaign make clear, attackers increasingly understand that the easiest way into an organization might be through the small, trusted extensions that users install without a second thought.

This article breaks down what happened, why it matters, and why organizations subject to security frameworks need to treat browser extensions as a first-class part of their threat models.

The journey to CMMC Level 3 represents the highest level of cybersecurity maturity under the CMMC framework. Unlike Levels 1 and 2, which focus on FCI and CUI, respectively, Level 3 targets Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). That means more extensive security, defined in NIST Special Publication 800-172.

For organizations that support critical programs or handle high-value assets for the Department of Defense, achieving Level 3 is imperative. But what does it take to implement the enhanced controls from NIST SP 800-172, and how do they fit into the broader CMMC ecosystem? This article explores that challenge and provides a practical roadmap for organizations preparing to meet it.
