Killware is the Next Big Cyber Security Threat

Brian Erickson, then Vidoori Vice President of Strategy and Solutions, was featured as a contributor in the February 2022 edition of Cyber Defense Magazine.

Erickson, a retired Navy Captain, served 26 years in the Naval aviation and information warfare communities. That gave him firsthand insight into the impact of killware on military operations and how it threatens cybersecurity. The article focuses on how killware poses a threat to the ever-changing digital battlefield. As the article states, “while the term may be new to members of the military – adversaries have been targeting defense systems for decades to disrupt communications and endanger the lives of our armed forces.”

Erickson was active in the cybersecurity community during his days as a Senior Naval Officer (Captain/06) and continued that engagement as part of the Vidoori leadership team. Erickson led Vidoori’s internal Cybersecurity Working Group, which aims to identify innovative approaches to addressing cybersecurity threats via the use of existing and emerging technologies. The Cybersecurity Working Group is composed of Vidoori security experts that have an array of experience supporting federal and commercial organizations to develop offensive and defensive protection strategies. In addition to identifying innovations for protection, the group also shares insights regarding existing threats and security vulnerabilities on the horizon.

Vidoori remains committed to the safety of our clients by providing cybersecurity solutions that support offensive and defensive threat protection strategies. This approach helps clients to deal with existing threats and anticipate future threats.
