‘Shouldn’t be begging’: “MITRE leaders have been begging for more private funding for years,” said Roger Grimes, data driven defense evangelist at KnowBe4, in an email.”This isn’t a type of program where the program leaders should be begging for funding. It should be fully funded, correctly resourced, and able to do a superb job for its mission. It’s an incredibly valuable resource and the entire cybersecurity community wants to know if it will be given the attention and funding it has always needed for the seriousness of its mission. Great to hear it’s being extended, but the devil is in the details.””Now,” he said, “the question is, is it being funded at the same level, less, or even better? Because the program has always had a ton of deficiencies for years that the community has been hoping could be improved. That program has been existing on a shoestring budget for years, hanging on by a thread, ready to collapse in usefulness at any minute.”I hope we can all go to sleep better at night knowing that it is not only getting extended, but will actually be improved and become the service it should have always been”¦so that the program’s leaders can do less begging for funding and more managing and improving the program.”
