Kristin Cooke shared thisA strategic and critically important addition to HSToday, huge thank you to the editorial board and to Kristina Tanasichuk.Kristin Cooke shared thisHomeland Security Today launched a major expansion of its Counterterrorism vertical, announcing today a dedicated Editorial Board, and "Frontline Watch" a new editorial feature, as part of its emphasis on bringing real experts to the counterterrorism mission. Driven by the publication’s growth and increasing demand for deeper, more fact-based insights and understanding of modern-day terrorism, the board reflects an international group of diverse expertise. Subject matter experts from across government, academia, and industry, will contribute expert analysis, original research, and strategic insight to inform decision-makers across the homeland security enterprise and help bridge the gap between policy and practice. "As the world continues to get more dangerous and more complex we are very proud to welcome these renowned experts to help our community collaborate more around pragmatic, solution-oriented conversations and education. Government -- and those in the public sector at all levels -- must be included in the conversations around what is needed, the threats they must mitigate, and the resources they need. We are the forum that connects front-line homeland security professionals with academia and industry, elevating the most innovative, relevant information and resources to help them protect themselves and the communities they serve. We are extremely proud to welcome our Editorial Board members," said Kristina Tanasichuk, Executive Editor of Homeland Security Today. Please join us to welcome this distinguished board of experts and take one step closer to eradicating terrorism. #counterterrorism #stopterrorism #TEAMHOMELAND #terrorism #violentextremism #prevention #extremism #lonewolf #Iran #fentanyl #cartels #policyandpractice #humantrafficking Read the entire release here: https://lnkd.in/ec6D9NRh Mahmut Cengiz Mohammed Al-Basha Bryan Arva Nabeela N.

Kristin Cooke shared thisProud to announce that we’ve added the HACS SIN to our federal arsenal. A huge thank you to Stephen Moore Christopher Steel Albert Villar Brad Malcom for their insights and hard work. Looking forward to navigating the evolving federal environment with this incredible team.Kristin Cooke shared thisAlphaSix has successfully passed the GSA technical evaluation for all subcategories under SIN 54151HACS, further strengthening our ability to support federal and public sector cybersecurity missions. Did you know that while there are thousands of companies with a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract, only about 5% currently hold the Highly Adaptive Cybersecurity Services (HACS) SIN 54151HACS — and fewer still have achieved approval across all HACS subcategories. This milestone underscores the specialized technical capability and maturity of AlphaSix’s cybersecurity services. The HACS SIN validates our experience across high-value asset security assessments, incident response, penetration testing, cyber hunt, and risk and vulnerability assessments—positioning AlphaSix to support agencies through the GSA MAS with mission-aligned, standards-based cybersecurity services. #Cybersecurity #FederalIT #GSA #HACS #RiskManagement #MissionReady

A former Navy Seal. Director of Emergency Services for DHS. A servant leader. Now Administrator of FEMA, Cameron Hamilton is a tremendous leader for this transformational time in emergency management. We look forward to continuing our support of preparing the American people; sharing how families and communities can leverage one another, local resources, private sector partners and local, state, and federal government to respond and recover as fast as possible. Americans Stand Ready! Let’s roll!!

Thank you to the entire GTSC team - Kristina Tanasichuk, Kalyna White, and Eric M. Leckey for putting together such a thoughtful event! The event brought together FEMA leadership, state and local emergency managers, and industry to talk candidly about where the future of emergency management is headed and what needs to change to get there.

Kristin Cooke liked thisKristin Cooke liked thisOur trade mission is powered by our people. OT’s portfolio is broad and complex, requiring expertise across a wide range of trade disciplines. EAC Thomas recently engaged with personnel across the Trade Programs Directorate to learn more about the people and programs driving CBP’s trade mission. She spoke with teams leading key areas of the trade portfolio including revenue collection, intellectual property rights, import safety, and more. These conversations gave EAC Thomas the opportunity to hear directly from the workforce, and recognize how the team’s expertise supports effective trade enforcement.

From supporting military members and their families at the checkpoint to helping make their travel experience easier, across TSA, our commitment goes beyond just saying “thank you.” They’ve traveled the world in service to the USA, and we’re proud to serve them wherever their next journeys may be. ✈️ To learn more about dedicated military lanes at airports, TSA PreCheck benefits for servicemembers and veterans, and how we aid wounded warriors, visit: https://lnkd.in/ex4BvCpW #VFW #Military #Veterans #TSA

This year asked a lot of you: delivering for your agencies while learning, adapting, and helping shape a new, more principles-based approach to acquisition. The thoughtful work you do every day - asking good questions, sharing what you’re learning, and using your judgment in service of the mission - is what moves this change forward. I’m grateful for your commitment and proud to be part of this community. I hope you take a moment to celebrate all you’ve accomplished!!
