There is always news coming on the election cybersecurity front and the latest is from Forbes. According to a really interesting article by Taylor Armerding:

Dan Waddell, senior vice president of Zeneth Technology Partners, which provides cyber products and services to federal and commercial clients, agrees that government needs to be involved and the current initiatives are good ways to do so.

He noted that “many federal systems now operate on networks owned and operated by the private sector while NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) has adoption across multiple domains including .gov and .com.”

Indeed, given that technology crosses all sectors, private and public, “it’s no longer who owns what anymore. The lines have become extremely blurred,” Waddell said. It is not just the federal level, either, where governments are getting involved.
