In the Zero Trust Security Model (ZTSM), organizations learn to create system polices that have multi-layered and monitored approaches. When you do, you have the TechR2 Tear-A-Byte® and Tear-A-Vault® systems. The only ZTSM system in the EoL industry.

In the IBM NIST and Zero Trust Security Model (ZTSM) training on Thursday, the SMEs stressed the importance for every vendor that works with the organization’s data whether hardware or software to be in compliance with their NIST and ZTSM policies. This includes vulnerability testing. This is new for many OEMs. It was just over a year ago that Microsoft became NIST certified.

Many companies have long ago issued endpoint devices such as cell phones, tablets, and laptops to users, so during the pandemic, employees that worked from home were logging into a company configured and secure device. For the other organizations that favored BYOD and allowed any device to connect to their portal, there are cybersecurity issues.

TechR2 serves on the Ohio Cybersecurity Collaboration Committee (OC3), works with US critical infrastructure organizations, and maintains the highest cybersecurity standards themselves. Why? When you read about the many cybersecurity breaches in your community, it is partners like TechR2 that are making a difference.

The Zero Trust Security Model (ZTSM) recognizes that the perpetrator has penetrated your single layer of defense. As those with military experience understand, the ZTSM is a defense in depth strategy. The process involves a 5-step approach which are Define, Map, Design, Create and Monitor.

You wake up on Labor Day and you have time to think about the last year, your community, your family, and your friends. You think about your education, healthcare, or business network. Your group does not have a secondary system and like 80% of organizations in the US, you and your team have not rehearsed any cyber-attack recovery. Ever.

Data privacy is important to each US citizen, and it is undoubtedly one of the most important subjects that all Americans agree upon. But UNM Health, including UNM Hospital, UNM Medical Group, Inc., and UNM Sandoval Regional Medical Center waited until late summer to report to 637,232 US citizen’s that their PII and other data was breached in May. That is several months late. That is an issue.

Data security, TechR2’s core business, begins with a focused strategy resting on a solid set of national and international certifications. Our new customers are always amazed at the differences when they signed with TechR2 and left their old non-compliant third-party providers. Trust and data security expertise.

Working remotely is not a trend, it is the future. But in exchange for eliminating 2-way rush hour traffic, cost of parking and the expense of the cubicle environment, this generation of computer users need to embrace the complexities of data security to protect their organization across an even wider geographical area.
