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.
What can we learn from these government agencies that are failing external audits in protecting our data? In general, these agencies “consistently failed to implement certain key cybersecurity requirements including encryption of sensitive data, limiting each user’s access to the information and systems needed to perform their job, and multi-factor authentication”.
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.
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.

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
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.
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?
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.
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.
