SANDWORM: A New Era of Cyberwar and the Hunt for the Kremlin's Most Dangerous Hackers, is simply compelling & Netflix movie ready.

At DreamPort, our team is testing & evaluating cyber solutions for supply chain, DoD's #CMMC & Defense Industrial Base Manufacturers – Andy's book is so relevant!

From SANDWORM: A New Era of Cyberwar and the Hunt for the Kremlin's Most Dangerous Hackers, – In 2014, the world witnessed the start of a mysterious series of #cyberattacks. Targeting American utility companies, NATO, and electric grids in Eastern Europe, the strikes grew ever more brazen. They culminated in the summer of 2017, when the malware known as NotPetya was unleashed, penetrating, disrupting, and paralyzing some of the world's largest businesses—from drug manufacturers to software developers to shipping companies. At the attack's epicenter in Ukraine, ATMs froze.

A copy of the book will be provided to each attendee!

Join us at #DreamPort as we delve into the new era of #cyber warfare, our sponsor for this event is Elastic. Thank you Kate Tong!
