Today, as technologies, services, data and people interact in ever more complex ways, the potential danger from cyber threats has moved beyond traditional networks and computer systems. As the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attacks and the SolarWinds hack showed, a cyberattack against the nation’s critical infrastructure can have devastating impacts across one or more of the 16 critical infrastructure sectors and produce cascading disruptions that impact multiple sub-sectors. Determined adversaries consistently find innovative methods to exploit vulnerabilities. To stay ahead, we need a rapid, streamlined way to develop, test and utilize cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions.
