The Federal Government directly manages only about 15% of the nation’s IT infrastructure. Large private-sector companies manage about 70% - the vast majority - of the infrastructure. We expect these organizations to provide the needed management, resources, and budgets to manager their 85% of the total. → The remaining 15% of the nation's IT infrastructure is managed by smaller organizations. Managing only a small fraction of our IT infrastructure, they contribute mightily to our economic success. They employ about 45% of the workforce and contribute about 45% to our GDP. ?? These smaller businesses - small manufacturers, the post-production industry here in Southern California, restaurants, the local dry cleaner, your accountant and lawyer, perhaps your water district - are sadly unprepared for cyber-disruption. Too often they lack the management expertise and the resources to secure their vital 15%. This is why these smaller businesses and nonprofits are victimized in approximately 70% of all cybercrimes. ?? In response, organizations like SecureTheVillage, CyberWyoming, the Cyber Readiness Institute, Sightline Security, and others have built special programs to help these smaller organizations. SecureTheVillage, for example, built our?SoCal Cybersecure? program to specifically address the needs of smaller organizations to prepare for cyber-disruptions and effectively manage the continuity of their business operations during the inevitable disruptions. If every smaller business and nonprofit managed their cybersecurity to basic reasonable standards, America's overall security would be significantly improved. So when you think national security, remember the importance of our smaller businesses and nonprofits to national security. *** CLICK THE IMAGE ??to read more in the Cybersecurity News of the Week and Patch Report!
