Each year we see businesses totally unready for a cyberattack. And in 2021 assessments, we see businesses using unvetted, non-compliant and non-certified companies in their enterprise offices and datacenters.
The difference between a CSF compliant organization and one that is not is like day and night.
The cyber war between nations is not just to steal PII, PFI, and PHI for profit, but with nation states and their privateers, it is to penetrate the critical infrastructure of their opposition. It is to gather intelligence and to have a process in place to sabotage essential functions of a nation from financial, to healthcare, and to communications.

Here’s today’s project. If you are on the FERC or NERC Board, schedule an online meeting and adopt the NIST CSF and the Zero Trust Security Model standard. What is not going to change is the US movement to a federal model. What needs to change is poor auditing to outdated error filled approaches that put US consumers at risk.
After all the cybersecurity work some organizations do, they still fall to breaches in their defense for lack of a forward-looking strategy. For all the OEMs reporting major breaches, the Zero Trust Security Model (ZTSM) and a revamping of their strategy need to take high priority. We have stated how OEMs, financial, and healthcare institutions are today giving their data filled products to non-compliant recyclers where the OEM tries to recover 5 cents on a dollar in selling the device that still can have data on it.
