Fallout from 2020 Attacks Will Continue

As we have now seen with the early devastation of the SolarWinds Orion debacle, the risk of even highly trusted mainstream applications is very real. We have only just begun to see the breadth and depth of the follow-on attacks. The FireEye compromise and theft of their tools will also likely have long-lasting impacts as they are leveraged against companies unaware of the issues and/or unable or unwilling to remediate against them. There will be greater distrust and IT departments will have to find a better way to watch the watchers. Discussions about and actions around supply chain risk will increase greatly. They will impact current and new business relationships and create opportunity for the channel to understand and remediate the negative impacts

One of our key initiatives will be progressively working to inspire the focused attention and sustained action from the boards of directors, investors and other executive leadership of all businesses. We want to help them realign their priorities toward cyber defense strategies that work for them. We will empower them to become more effective and invested in making positive changes in the cyber posture of their respective companies, customers, and other organizations. Through easy-to-consume information and questions, we want to remove the x-factor of needing technical experience. We will be that reassuring voice confirming that they are doing the right things. We will help them to find their own appropriate conclusions. We want them to be able to trust in the defenses of their organizations, employees, stockholders, and customers.” – Kevin McDonald, COO and CISO, Alvaka Networks, and co-chair of the Cybersecurity Advisory Council
