## Resource

The US National Cybersecurity Defense is vastly weaker now that it was in January of 2025. We are more susceptible to attacks from foreign governments, other threat actors and more. If we don't fix this soon, we could start seeing mass casualty events... and that's not hyperbole. We also cover so much more in the critical deep dive. Don't miss this.
