UMBC’s Cybersecurity Graduate Program’s Dr. Terry Thompson recently wrote an in-depth article about Russian disinformation, half-truths, fabrications, and misleading posts made by the Russian government during the 2016 presidential election. In this week’s Industry Roundup, we take a look at new comprehensive reports that the U.S. congress will discuss in regards to this disinformation and what we can learn from The Baltic Nations’ way of dealing with such issues. We will also take a look at a new bio-pharmaceutical company in Montgomery County, SpaceX and its latest venture into space, as well as a comprehensive reading list for data scientists.
