Led by Chris Nielsen, the Deputy CISO portfolio provides governance and oversight of the CISO organization, and leads key enterprise-wide cybersecurity initiatives (see blue.usps.gov/itweb/ciso/christopher-nielsen-bio.htm). These initiatives include:
n Cybersecurity-related communications and strategic planning.
n Training and awareness projects (see blue.usps.gov/cyber/welcome.htm).
n Policy development and compliance (see blue.usps.gov/itweb/ciso/pqc/welcome.htm).
n Security architecture.
In short, the Deputy CISO portfolio’s top priority is to develop and oversee the cybersecurity strategies, policies, and processes used to keep the USPS® network safe from ever-evolving threats.
You can help Deputy CISO protect USPS using the following tips:
n Get trained. Complete your assigned security training when it is available on HERO.
n Become a CyberSafe Guardian. You don’t have to work for CISO to protect the USPS network. Sign up today to be a CyberSafe Guardian for your department (see blue.usps.gov/cyber/guardian/welcome.htm) and learn how to keep your peers cyber smart.
n Beware of tricksters. Whether by email, text message, or voicemail, cybercriminals are hoping to trick you into giving away sensitive information. Don’t fall victim to a ransomware or phishing attack, which could turn your technology against you.
