And just like that, we are live, we are live, we are live. Hey, hello, hello, hello. Good morning, good evening, good afternoon. Let's get this music volume turned down just a little bit. You have tuned in to the Daily Cyber Threat Brief. Little bit of a different face for you this morning. Here in the next hour, if this is your first time joining us, you're gonna join folks like Ad Tech, Cary, Phil Stafford, Nintendude11, Ad Tech 247, SignalGhostX, and a whole plethora of folks in the cybersecurity community. For the next hour, I get this very special honor and privilege, and I'm not being hyperbolic here, to use Jerry's terminology. And I get the blessing and the privilege of hosting the Daily Cyber Threat Brief. I am your guest host, Jesse Johnson, aka The Cosmic Cowboy. And like I said, for the next hour, me, you and the rest of this awesome community are going to cut up the top eight storylines rocking the cybersecurity world so that you could bring it maybe into a job interview as you're trying to level up in cybersecurity. Maybe you already work in the industry, and this is good cannon fodder to bring in to your preparations, your morning boardroom meetings, talk to the IT teams, the cyber teams. Maybe you're not even in cybersecurity. Well, guess what? You're in the right place because we can answer your questions. It's a great place to build community, answer questions about breaking into the industry, and get an idea of how the landscape is being affected. If this is your first time in chat, do me a solid and let us know it's your first time, just by dropping hashtag first timer. We're always looking for folks to bring in the Simply Cyber Fold. So if it is your first time, let us know because there's a special sound effect for you.

If you look and you see your name is in green, that means you are a proud sponsor of the Simply Cyber channel. You have access to awesome things such as emotes. You can tell people awesome things like, hey, welcome first timer. So here in this next hour, we'll bring you some value by talking about the cyber stories.

I see Carrie, long time old timer. Good morning, team. Good morning. Good morning. Let's go Cosmic Cowboy Code Brew Cyber. That's right. All right. Hashtag old. I even got some paper notes that Jerry printed up for me to keep this podcast on the rails. So let's get to it. I want to remind everybody that this is the place to be. So let's get started. Let's get into it. You know why you're here. Let's get some things rocking, rolling.

That's right. And as we progress through our cybersecurity careers, I think we all know that certifications are a big part of that, keeping your certs up, making sure that you're staying certified to the level that you need to be. And one of the ways that you can do that is through CPEs, Continuing Practitioner Credits or Continuing Education Credits. I want to remind every single person watching that each and every episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief is worth half of a CPE. We try to make the process, well, when I say we, Dr. Jerry Auger and his team, try and make the process as easy as possible. You just head on over to Cyber Threat Brief, simply cyber.io.slash CPE. I'll drop this link in chat for those. You fill out the handy dandy questionnaire here. This is me. I attest that I'm not a liar or a bad person, and I was here for the stream. I watched the episode. You submit this and be looking in your email, Dr. Auger and the Simply Cyber team, email you your CPE, which is awesome because makes it a simple way to keep track of these CPEs and then turn them in.

Pirate Kitty, good morning. I'm going to be in lurker mode, driving and having a great day. That's what I love to hear. Space tacos, can't stay long. We're glad that you can be here while you are here. Anybody else in chat saying hi?

Good morning. Looking for first timers. I need to get my chat dialed up or they might be trying to tell me something super important.
