Why is Tech Working Against Us and Not For Us?
Why Are We Allowing It?

People typically work around 33% of the working day and just over 50% of total days in a year. A very large % of organizations DO NOT control or manage their Internet Assets, including DNS.

Over 95% of Cyberattacks, Malware, and Bots rely upon DNS.

The Internet is Weaponized.

Tech Giants that provide DNS and CDN services are maintaining exposed and insecure servers, some on DNS Blacklists, not to mention PKI errors, and despite this, they are among the world’s richest companies.

Put simply, Tech is NOT WORKING to protect or secure us…

Until these issues are addressed, (spoiler alert, it is not about increased resources or increased spend), nothing will change. The costs and losses to Cybercrime will continue to trickle down through the economy to every Internet user.

Put simply; Cyberattacks against Tech Giants DOES NOT effect or impact them.

In fact perversely the opposite is proving to be the case. The world’s two largest companies, value wise, have recently suffered devastating cyberattacks. These attacks have potentially provided and impacted hundreds of millions, if not billions of users, including Governments, Military, and Federal Agencies and yet are the two richest companies in the world valued in several $trillion. Go figure…

A Reset is desperately called for if change is a desired outcome. Unaddressed, more of the same is a guarantee.
