Georgia Tech Cybersecurity Failures: A Comedy of Errors or a National Security Risk?
Georgia Tech is in hot water as the US sues over alleged cybersecurity failures, including false compliance scores and ignoring anti-malware protocols. The university, ironically housing a cybersecurity lab, is accused of putting national security at risk.
Hot Take:
Who knew Georgia Tech was majoring in Cybersecurity Fails 101? Maybe it’s time they audit their own syllabus instead of giving themselves A’s for effort!
Key Points:
