About this listen

The threat landscape is moving faster than ever—and traditional response playbooks aren't keeping up. In this live Field Notes episode, Eric Brown and Nick Mellum dive into the surge of recent cyberattacks hitting state governments, transit systems, and critical infrastructure across the U.S.

From Nevada's complete state office shutdown to Maryland's Metro Transit paralysis, the hosts explore why organizations still "clam up" during breaches instead of sharing crucial threat intelligence. Drawing from their firsthand experience with the St. Paul incident and military-grade preparedness principles, they reveal the uncomfortable truth: you're not building higher walls anymore—you're planning for someone who's already inside.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Recent state-level cyberattacks in Nevada and Maryland
  • Why threat intelligence sharing fails when we need it most
  • The human cost of breach response chaos and endless meetings
  • How AI is being weaponized in sophisticated supply chain attacks
  • Military mindset for cybersecurity: "Semper Gumby, always flexible"
