Salt Typhoon Storms the Government | The Gestalt IT Rundown: December 11, 2024

Gestalt IT Rundown

The big story this week is the continued fallout from Salt Typhoon. The US government is feeling the heat from the exposure of so many telecom companies and they want answers. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has announced a proposed set of rules that would require companies that participate in the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) to have a yearly requirement to certify their cybersecurity risk management plans to prevent hackers from getting in. Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon has gone even further and proposed a draft bill to secure telecom networks with the FCC implementing specific requirements instead of simple certifications. 0:00 - Welcome to the Rundown 1:21 - StormForge Rightsizes JVMs 4:11 - Cisco Switches Vulnerable to Verification Exploit 7:29 - VMware by Broadcom Welcomes Partners Back to the Top 11:16 - Google Stabilizes Quantum Qubit for an Hour 16:49 - Open Source Flooded by Bad AI Bug Reports 21:52 - Salt Typhoon Storms the Government 32:57 - The Weeks Ahead 34:19 - Thanks for Watching
