Virtual Education - NSA CCC-DIB Cybersecurity Services: Strengthening SMB Defenses
2025-05-13 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
Webinar – NSA CCC-DIB Cybersecurity Services: Strengthening SMB Defenses
Live Virtual Course Via Zoom
Tuesday, May 13 (12:00 PM – 1:00 PM)
Malicious actors continually attempt to disrupt company networks by exploiting passive DNS (PDNS) data or discovering unknown vulnerabilities. While large Defense Industrial Base (DIB) companies, such as prime contractors, can protect themselves with robust cybersecurity programs, small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the DIB often lack the resources to implement and maintain such comprehensive defenses.
The Defense Industrial Base faces constant cyber threats, with SMBs particularly vulnerable due to limited resources. To address this, the NSA Cybersecurity Collaboration Center offers free, enhanced services to DoD contractors:
1. Passive DNS monitoring
2. Attack surface management
3. Real-time threat intelligence
This initiative strengthens the entire DIB’s cybersecurity posture, bridging the gap between prime contractors and SMBs.
Instructor
Samantha Anim is currently the Campaign Manager at the National Security Agency, Cybersecurity Collaboration Center. In this role, she is responsible for increasing partnership participation and enrollment into NSA provided no-cost cybersecurity services for Defense Industrial Base (DIB) companies to help them defend against Nation-state and other cyber actors.
Prior Agency experience includes Chief Operating Officer of Threats to National Security Systems and Technologies. In this roll she would oversee daily tasks and ensure support was being provided. She also served as a Special Agent in Security and Counterintelligence.
