Gregory Touhill, the retired Air Force general and former federal CISO under President Obama, minces no words when he describes the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack as a global day of reckoning for critical infrastructure protection. It s a global day of reckoning from the standpoint of seeing critical infrastructure such as this go into a gridlock because of ransomware, says Touhill, who recently was appointed director of the CERT division of the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. Further, it s a wake-up call for governments all around the world.

All of this activity has been underscored by a now-daily deluge of reporting about the latest big breach, ransomware attack or supply chain compromise.
