Security experts mock website of Trump's cyber czar

A great way to inform whether or not a "cybersecurity professional" really is aware of one thing about cybersecurity is to try their web site, assuming they've one.

Does the location appear to be one thing coded for a center faculty undertaking? In that case, you may need to be skeptical.

If, for instance, the newly appointed casual cybersecurity advisor to President-elect Donald Trump has a company website that appears prefer it was constructed after a handful of coding courses, it is sensible to doubt his experience. 

People on the web immediately denounced the cybersecurity chops of former New York Metropolis Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was introduced as an off-the-cuff cyber advisor to Trump on Thursday.

 Giuliani runs a administration agency referred to as Giuliani Companions that homes an organization department allegedly coping with safety providers. The corporate's website was, laughably, down at time of writing.

Customers on Twitter have been fast to level out the location's a number of flaws.

In all probability not a great signal. 

One other not nice signal: The web site, when it was up, did not appear to element any of the agency's cybersecurity work.

It provided generic descriptions of what they might theoretically do for shoppers, however did not point out who its cyber "specialists" are nor did it listing any of its former or present shoppers. From that lack of knowledge, the subsequent query is clear: Does Giuliani know something about cybersecurity?

Perhaps not. However he does know about mingling authorities and enterprise, one thing which others have identified.

Alright then. Making America Protected Once more begins right here...
