In this episode, Ryan Williams Sr. demonstrates how to build a GPT (Genitive Pre-trained Transformer) using OpenAI's ChatGPT. He walks through the four steps of creating a GPT and shows how to optimize it. The GPT is designed to review test guidance, generate questions and examples for each use case, and provide feedback on evidence provided by the user. Ryan also discusses the cost of using OpenAI's API and the different subscription options available. 1.0 Instructions This GPT will review the attached guidance. It will then read each of the capabilities and generate questions with examples for each use case-specific guidance to test if the organization meets all TIC 3.0 guidance. Expect the input to be the title of the capability, and you will provide example questions as the output. 1.1 Instructions 1. This GPT will review the attached guidance. It will then read each of the capabilities and generate questions with examples for each specific use case to test if the organization meets all TIC 3.0 guidance. Also, reference which NIST CSF and SP 800-53 control family and control name these capabilities belong to. Expect the input to be the title of the capability, and you will provide example questions as the output. In addition to your response, also provide your output in the form of an Excel spreadsheet. 2. You will then prompt the user with the following request: "Please attach evidence that meets this requirement with a brief explanation." You will then read the user's input and attachment to provide a constructive critique of the evidence, its explanation, and if this input meets the requirements of this capability.

The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) suffered a cyber attack that disrupted its IT systems and online operations. While it is unknown if it was a ransomware attack, the ARRL reassured users that no social security numbers were compromised. However, the attackers did gain access to email addresses and names, which could be used for phishing and identity theft. The ARRL plays a crucial role in maintaining communication lines through hand radios, making them important in times of crisis. It is important not to pay ransomware demands as it only emboldens attackers and can lead to further threats.

In this Throwback episode S1, Ep5), Ryan, Shannon, and LeVon discuss the SolarWinds supply chain attack, Sunburst, as the event was still unfolding. This was one of our first episodes and still sits at the top of one of the biggest cyber incidents in a decade. Topic 1: A supply chain attack on SolarWinds has resulted in a widespread cyber espionage campaign, with state-sponsored actors allegedly working for Russia targeting US government agencies and major companies. The attack exploited a backdoor in SolarWinds' software, affecting 18,000 customers and leading to the compromise of sensitive information. The breach is considered one of the biggest in a decade and will require extensive forensic investigation and rebuilding of security infrastructure. The incident highlights the need for increased cybersecurity measures and the demand for skilled professionals in the field. Topic 2: School districts in the US are purchasing mobile device forensics technology to search students' phones without a warrant, raising concerns about privacy and potential misuse. The Supreme Court ruled in New Jersey v. TLO that schools can search students' phones without a warrant if they have reasonable belief of a law or policy violation. However, this raises questions about the extent of privacy rights for students and the potential for targeting certain groups. Please LISTEN 🎧 LIKE 👍🏿 and SHARE ❤️ Thanks!
