Jess's Thoughts: Hi! I'm Jessica (Jess) Park, Business Development Manager for Cybersecurity at Loudoun Economic Development. Every month, we gather for the Loudoun County Cybersecurity Professionals Meetup, a cohort of the region's top cybersecurity professionals where we learn from one another, network, and discuss cybersecurity topics and trends. I am excited about July’s speaker, Greg Crabb, because his unique experience as CISO of the U.S. Postal Service and success with thwarting cybercrime, reminds me that regardless of how far technology has taken us, we still need the human factor as part of technology’s future. Normally, you wouldn’t assume the postal service would be involved with cybercrime, but historically, bad actors have been creative with their approaches and that will only continue to evolve!
