But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 68 low: 47.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Sachem who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Sachem Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Sachem today:

1. Legislators plan to get to the bottom of missing cybersecurity assessments. If you've been following the ongoing news following the cyberattack on Suffolk County, it hasn't been pretty. Two legislators now plan to potentially subpoena Suffolk County on missing cybersecurity assessments. Read the full story in the link. (Sachem Patch)
2. Learn about star student athlete and local hero Benito Calderone. We've launched our new initiative highlighting local heroes, and Benito was nominated by his father, Benny. See what makes Benito a local hero in the link. (Sachem Patch)
3. Suffolk to cut ties with cybersecurity company RedLand strategies. The company has been helping mitigate the Sept. 8 cyberattack, but also lobbied in the past for the security company used previously to examine the county's networks, Newsday reported. Chief Deputy County Executive Lisa Black told lawmakers the month-to-month contract would be terminated at the end of November. (Sachem Patch)
