"For all who were counting on Congress to do something it is time to take the initiative at scale.
the ideas will get put in place by the adversary.
They will improve collaboration, They will invest in training, and they will establish new plans of attack.
It is time to engage one weapons system we have not leveraged in scale. it is time to ask the device to play it's proper role in defending the network infrastructure.
New policy Only known devices connected to sensitive networks and data. - Enable the TPM register the devices on the network assure that all devices are connected to the network are properly managed. Known devices Protect Mobile services, Apple services, Satellite TV services...
Start building a root of trust infrastructure to combat APT. Bios integrity on Windows 7 Measured tin clients measured OS... and Integrate component supply chain to assure integrity of the devices.
Finally protect the stored data from compromise Introduce Industry standard Vendor neutral Opal technology for all flash storage on PC, Tablet, Mobile.. Let's make these devices safe to lose and assure data is isolated and protected.
These are steps that can be taken today!! These are technologies that have already seen billions in collaboration investments!! If your team is not operational on these technologies find a way to SPIN them up it is hard to fight a battle when you have no training on the weapons or experience using them using them.
Trusted computing the first partnership between Industry and Government to establish standards based solutions
