Major OEMs made a pledge this week to the US to invest in meeting the CSF requirements
There are three major weaknesses in US cyber defenses not reported by us, but by every major external cybersecurity auditor in reports to the federal government since 2018. One, the major OEMs, corporations and government agencies use non-compliant third-party vendors for products and services.
Apple, Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, and Google pledged to strengthen their stance on cybersecurity at the White House
Every day we work within our organization to help clients achieve requirements in a CSF standard they thought was unattainable. As being discussed at the cybersecurity summit in Washington DC today is that there is a shortage of cyber expertise. True. But what can we do locally to correct the issue? Two things.
TechR2’s Tear-A-Byte and Tear-A-Vault Systems meet the Zero Trust Security Model.
Every day we work within our organization to help clients achieve requirements in a CSF standard they thought was unattainable. As being discussed at the cybersecurity summit in Washington DC today is that there is a shortage of cyber expertise. True. But what can we do locally to correct the issue? Two things.
TechR2’s data security systems use multiple layers of data security and meet the requirements of the Zero Trust Security Model
Another Single Point of Failure (SPOF) breach was announced that leaked 38 million records from many companies who used the Microsoft Power Apps. If you read about the vulnerability, you will find that the software only had one layer of security and that one point of weakness was easy to bypass. This is a failure for Microsoft and for the large companies
Are you patching together your network security?
When we are discussing major networks, we think of a large system that had to be fixed that is like many organizations, both public and private. Their network had been patched together by many different businesses over the years, and the system was fragile at best. All this is because their network used the cheapest components from the lowest bidder, and they had zero redundancy and almost zero backups.
Blinded by cutting corners: Non-compliant vendors in the supply chain
Just like most of you, we hear from many experts, and we listen to their cyber ideas. However, when you sit down with a CISO that has had a breach, there is a common thread. Non-compliant vendors in their Supply Chain. Third-party data breaches have affected 51% of all businesses, according to a report by Ponemon Institute. This is an issue with our major OEMs and IT Support in Ohio and in the US as they even display non-compliant vendors on their own partner webpage. So how do we fix this problem in the US Supply Chain?
State lacks cybersecurity staff to counter threats to Florida
We found the problem in Florida to be interesting, since we see similar issues in the United States. Here we are advocates for high technology, but long ago, we found that to build a new system, it is a mixture of hardware, software, and an innovative team. Florida is having trouble as well as organizations in Ohio and the US, because cybersecurity departments are not the IT department.
Survey reveals nearly 9 in 10 Americans worry about data breaches
People throughout the world are concerned about their well being is that it has been demonstrated that small, medium, and large enterprises and government offices except that they will be breached.
The only way your organization will achieve your CSF is surrounding yourself with data security compliant third-party vendors. TechR2 is a top CSF compliant company in the world.
Indiana holds a comprehensive cybersecurity disaster drill
Indiana is up to practicing in an exercise for a cyberattack that involves their critical infrastructure. Great work. It gets all the key leaders and their essential specialists in a room to train before an actual cyber event. It was worth every bit of time and expense to run the simulation and then set goals before the next exercise.
The T-Mobile data breach
Personal data owners are often told of a breach from the corporation long after the perpetrators have taken the data. T-Mobile made their announcement after the hackers announced that they had the data. Soon Ohio will have a new Data Privacy law to help protect individuals. Maybe one day the federal government will have GDPR-like laws.
