If a contractor came to me, named "Beyond Trust Inc," would I trust them? How much more suspicious can it be?

[@NickMak-m2c]

I think the name implies that one does not require trust, in some instance that the company would cover you for. Do you know what I mean, "Yo sit here on this bench, and please don't take off down Main St. while I pizzle wiz." Says on-foot cop with a perp. That requires trust. Beyond trust does not require trust. Beyond trust would plant a super-powerful magnet into his butt and clack his cheeks against the ATM out front. If you have to rely on a human component, you have to thoroughly vet them (chances are they're fine, as the vast majority of people are not criminally insane) but even the person you trust the most, your own sweet mother, could stab you 1000 times in the face at the Thanksgiving dinner. But Beyond Trust is about not requiring trust. In this case all sharp or blunt objects are removed from the dinner table and you eat turkey with your face like a man.

Given how most companies in the US treat security and IT as "cost center" nothing about this surprises me. Creating a secure environment that protects data (and isn't totally user hostile) and teaching people not to fling data keys around willy-nilly is a lot harder than expected. From a software development/deployment perspective, security is just nothing something that is there by default.

[@EvzenKovar-i5p]

We had to do all kinds of these video trainings about that stuff. Then the video series they had us doing got accused of conveying questionable opinions.

Don't forget compliance, a severely lacking entity within government IT programs. Governance risk and compliance audits are key in finding these issues and enforcing change. Everyone also hates us. Happy new year Paul!

[@gwebocelestron9194]

GRC only gets you maybe 80% there. Remember Compliance /= Security. I worked as a GRC analyst/manager for years. You can find stuff in your risk assessments but the push back from IT to fix is a huge hurdle. And you're right, everyone hates us. They take it personally when we find flaws and they hate us because we cause them more work. Most of the time senior management just wants us to get them through the audits, sometimes asking us to lie. I've been fired for not being willing to lie. They just want the certificate to use for marketing. They don't really care as much as they should about security.

Infected by the zero trust brain worm maybe, their website if full of that rubbish but the NIST spec for it is basically just 'when you give up on securing the network'

[@AnOnymous-w1j5q]

Indeed. It is very similar in Europe too. In government contracting you write a request for tender, give acceptance/exclusion criteria, give a list of items where the tenderers have to enter prices, and give a weight to quality vs price. The bidders then reply with a lot of yadda yadda, proving they have read and somewhat understood your text, and do “price engineering”, so that they have a chance to win the tender (otherwise they won’t bid). This system “guarantees” affordable “quality”, but not top notch engineering like in the private sector.

[@sensorycircuits1338]

You can get chicken tenders at chic filet with a lot less hassle.

[@foobarf8766]

On the other hand, the private sector does everything they can to avoid security regulation and compliance, won't even get a basic port scan done if it costs them.

[@rabiatorthegreat6163]

In the private sector it is far from guaranteed that you will get top notch engineering either. Even in companies that a non-insider might perceive as top notch. Consider Cisco. Large maker of computer network equipment and presumably one of the companies the USA will increasingly use after kicking out Huawei. Yet Cisco has a history of security problems, up to and including hard-coded passwords in their firmware. Some people claim those were back doors that the NSA requested, but I'm more inclined to assume sloppiness in development.

I worked at HP and handled the security updates for some firmware products which are more complicated to integrate. It really isn't that hard on the technical side to secure from attacks. The problem is the human element which like in this case someone gave out a key. Except a real security would have a system using a hardware element that generates the keys and you physically can't get access to the private key. In this case they obviously weren't controlling the private keys which is really stupid for a security company. When I left HP they were putting in place a "buddy" system where no one could even sign an image alone to keep the angry programming from doing something the company doesn't want. If you have the right system in place it just takes diligence.

[@beny9360]

35 years in cyber security here. The stories I could tell. Here's one. Remember Hillary's email server hack? I worked at the company that backed up her sever to the cloud. The cloud storage servers were not behind a firewall - fully exposed to the internet with public IPs. A misconfiguration in SAMBA allowed anonymous access. Anyone on the internet could get into these severs. And worse,, it didn't matter of the backups were encrypted because the private key was kept in a plaintext file on the servers and all the servers used the same key. The company did not have a security team at all at the time of the hack. Me and a couple others came on to form a security team about a year afterwards.

So “lowest bidder wins” is not always true. Because for the Virginia class submarines multiple bidders were involved and the Navy went with General Dynamics and HII.

[@Adrenaline1987123456]

Hello Paul. Im from Germany and maybe its different.but i work for a procurement department of a local hospital here. In germany you often get new stuff for lowest price. But it also everytime include the law, that the lowest offer cant be lower than 15 % to the neyt higher offer. If that is the case you as a state department have to research why that offer is so low and the company has to insure you why they can give you such low offer (showing the production costs of the product, or how they pay there workers and all that stuff). So its not really that bad.

[@Slayerqc]

The public think it's lowest bidder, the truth is they do accept the lowest bidder but for the minimal requirement specified in the call to tenders. Lowest bidder doesn't mean bad quality, it mean they offer the best price for the quality expected. There is no point to pay more for more quality *IF* it is not necessary.
